Louis Jadot Louis Jadot Corton-Pougets Grand Cru 2023 750ml

A racy style, displaying pure cherry, blackberry, rose, stone and spice aromas and flavors. Its piercing acidity is the defining factor, keeping this energetic and tense and driving the prolonged aftertaste. Shows brilliant harmony and finesse. Best from 2029 through 2046. 100 cases imported. (Bruce Sanderson)

<p>The 2022 Corton-Pougets Grand Cru has a tightly wound bouquet with dark plum, raspberry coulis, incense and light sous-bois scents. It takes quite a few swirls of the glass to get the aromas going. The palate is medium-bodied with a structured, assertive opening. The tannins are slightly chalky, lending this Corton-Pougets edginess/nerve. Fine mineralité towards the finish yet tightly wound and almost curmudgeonly in its nascent state, this Grand Cru will demand long-term aging. 94-96 points. (Neal Martin)

The 2023 Corton-Pougets Grand Cru (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot) is also an attractive effort, delivering notes of sweet red berries, spices and orange zest followed by a medium to full-bodied, velvety and supple palate that's suave and seamless. This is another cuvée that will offer a broad drinking window.
