Note di degustazione
Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting, Jadot's 2014 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a light brioche-scented nose that lacks some complexity at first, but aeration sees more mineralité developing. The palate improves in the glass eventually; after ten minutes, it demonstrates fine weight in the mouth. It boasts a slightly honeyed texture with a touch of nutmeg on the finish. Very fine.

(from estate vines in Pougets, facing southeast): Bright yellow. Reticent but pure scents and flavors of ginger, gentian, fresh herbs and menthol convey strong soil-driven energy. More about minerals than fruit but this wonderfully juicy wine boasts terrific thrust and early personality, not to mention outstanding flavor intensity and generosity. FYI: the cellar price for this wine is 80 Euros, while the Montrachet sells for 500. You make the call.
The 2014 Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru has an attractive, comely bouquet with notes of popcorn, citrus fruit and shaved almond, all nicely defined. The palate is well balanced with a keen line of acidity, citrus fresh with a touch of orange sorbet, yet like many other 2014 Corton-Charlemagnes, it just seems denuded of material, substance on the finish, as if dipping before the finish line too early. Not bad, but I prefer some of Jadot's premier cru white to this.
Really rather reticent on the nose. Gently creamy. But the intensity is unleashed on the palate. Pure focused, cedary citrus and terrific intensity all the way to the finish. Deep and long and impressive. (JH)

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.
