Note di degustazione
This comes from one hectare of vines – right next to their 1.8 hectares of Chardonnay on Corton. Thibault Gagey notes that this is a wine that can be austere when young but ages particularly well. The 2021 is enticing with a nose of sweet spice and red cherry fruit. It’s silken-textured and long with a framework of powdered tannin, yet a creaminess to the fruit that fleshes out the palate. Currently a wine more about texture than aromatics and fruit.

The 2021 Corton-Pougets Grand Cru has a fleshy ripe red cherry and crushed strawberry-scented bouquet, perhaps picked a day or two later than its peers, though without the same degree of mineralité or delineation. The palate is balanced with slightly fleshier tannins and touches of something sweet like coconut infusing the red fruit. Very smooth, perhaps the oak is just a little too influential towards the finish, making it more polished than necessary. Not bad overall, but short. This bottle is nowhere near the potential suggested out of barrel, but there you go! Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
The 2021 Corton-Pougets Grand Cru has a wonderful bouquet with transparent red cherry, raspberry and floral notes. This wine is classy and seductive. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannins. It's lithe and agile in the mouth with a mineral undertow towards the finish. Often one of Jadot's classiest offerings, this Pougets is no different and one of their stars in 2021.
Informazioni sul produttore
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
