This has a nutty, round nose. Very “Corton-Charlemagne”, though a little bit tight today. In the mouth this starts with sweet, bright fruit than rounds out nicely at the finish. Textbook stuff.

The 2011 Corton-Charlemagne literally bristles on the palate with energy. Bright lemon, citrus, white flowers and crushed rocks all take shape in the glass. In 2011 the Corton-Charlemagne is wonderfully pure, layered and direct. A host of citrus and graphite notes inform the vibrant, saline-infused finish. Jadot's 2011 Corton Charlemagne is a true stand out. Sep 2013, www.vinous.com, Drink: 2021+

An aromatically reticent nose features notes of lemon/lime, wet stone and Granny Smith apples that are trimmed in a subtle application of warm oak. The expansive, taut and well-muscled broad-shouldered flavors possess an ample amount of dry extract and intensity on the driving finish that exhibits a faintly saline character. I very much like the intensity here as well as the very dry backend and this should be superb if allowed adequate cellar time as it is still very tight today. Tasted: Jun 15, 2014. Drink: 2021+

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The 2011 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru from Louis Jadot has a more open and generous bouquet than Louis Latour’s, bridled with light limestone and green apple scents, touches of patisserie in the background originating from the oak that is in synch with the fruit profile. The palate is clean and fresh with a vibrant thread of acidity, good tension with citrus lemon and fresh lime. It finishes with a linear, poised finish that is as fresh as a daisy.
