Tasting notes
From 1.8 hectares, there is a quiet power to the Corton-Charlemagne in 2022. There’s a solidity to the wine’s stony core of peachy fruit, with a bright lift of citrus freshness. The oak stands out a little now, but will integrate with time, blending with the fruit. Steely and stern, this is a serious wine.

This has the classic reserved aromas and handsomely structured palate of the Corton Charlemagne cru, and will only get better with time. Subtle citrus and white peach aromas lead to mineral, Bosc pear, lime and lemon flavors held tightly in acidity and a bit of tannin. Best from 2029.
The 2022 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot), which is continuing its élevage in foudre, unwinds in the glass with notes of citrus oil, pear, hazelnuts, fresh mint and subtle reduction. Full-bodied, layered and chalky, with a rich core of fruit that's still youthfully tightly wound, it concludes with a long, resonant finish. It's one of the high points of the range this year.
