Note di degustazione
(12.9%; 3.46 pH; from a small crop of about 25 hectoliters per hectare): Good medium red with no amber showing. At least as spicy and exotic on the nose as the '09, conveying somewhat lower-toned aromas of raspberry, cherry, plum, licorice and cedar complicated by soil tones. A very rich, thick wine with considerable density and power, as well as an element of medicinal reserve, but not the delicacy or filigree character of less extreme vintages. Finishes very long and classically dry, with essentially fine-grained, palate-saturating tannins. This wine can be enjoyed now but will go for many years on its sheer concentration and tannic support.

Medium red. Reticent but fresh nose suggests menthol and stone. Silky-smooth but initially withdrawn, this opened in the glass to show vibrant flavors of spicy red fruits and minerals. Boasts superb energy and depth. The finish is firmly structured yet remarkably expansive and long, suggesting that this wine will repay 10 to 12 years of cellaring.
A little sweet and stewed on the nose but round lightish fruit with marked acidity. Pretty dry tannins and rather raw for the moment. One of the cheaper Grands Crus… Angular – a ballet rather than cabaret dancer. (JR)
Jadot’s 2005 Corton Pougets displays luscious plum and black cherry in conjunction with grilled, singed lamb and chalky, alkaline, stony underlying character. Allspice, black pepper and pungent herbal shadings become evident on the palate. This impressively dense, meaty, mineral-laden wine displays polished tannins and persistently clear, ripe bitter-sweet black fruit, leading to a long, firmly gripping finish. Don’t be in any hurry to revisit it, and expect at least a dozen years of interesting development. (A Corton Greves on which I withhold any judgment was awkwardly tart and tannic, having as yet for some reason, said Lardiere, failed to recover from its post-malo racking.) Jacques Lardiere has once again presided over a collection for the most part not intended to flatter in its youth, but rather to achieve an eventual balance of fruit acidity with (in this instance frequently quite prominent) tannin. Prolonged post-fermentative extraction promoted a formidably-structured group of wines, which Lardiere expressed no hurry about bottling. Certain of these – particularly from the Cote de Beaune – displayed a slightly drying finishing astringency or simply an austere lack of charm to match their concentration, traits Lardiere suggested might be traceable to drought stress in those sites. A brief July rain that reached the Cote de Nuits but not the Cote de Beaune was critical, he asserts, and all of Jadot’s vines in the northern Cote were picked before the harvest in the south commenced. (Wines from the Domaine Louis Jadot, Domaine Heritiers Louis Jadot, or Domaine Gagey, have been identified with a letter “D” in their listings.)

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.
