Louis Jadot Description
This Grand Cru is shared by the two villages of Aloxe-Corton and Pernand-Vergelesses in the north of the Côte de Beaune. Jadot’s vineyard area has been in the family since the 19th century and faces south. This Chardonnay wine is fermented and matured in oak barrels for a total of 18 months.
James Suckling: 98 Points
What a sensual nose of Amalfi lemon, ripe mirabelle and apricot this Corton-Charlemagne has! Gigantic fruit and almost as much structure behind it, the fine tannins underlining all this beautifully. Mouthwateringly fresh acidity and a saline touch that really ignites this at the very long, brilliant finish. From the south side of the hill of Corton. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
The 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot) is broad and muscular, unfurling in the glass with aromas of lime cordial, orange zest, white flowers and pastry cream. Full-bodied, rich and textural, it's a thick, fleshy wine with terrific concentration and tangy balancing acids.

Sweet spot
An elegant and exceptionally pretty nose combines plenty of floral elements with those of Granny Smith apples, mineral reduction, freshly squeezed citrus and an admirably subtle hint of oak. The succulent, concentrated and, unusually for a young Corton-Charlemagne, seductive big-bodied flavors exude an evident stoniness on the palate staining, citrusy, bone-dry and hugely long finish that really fans out as it sits in the mouth. I very much like the balance and this beauty should also age effortlessly.
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2020 Corton-Charlemagne has a lifted, liquorice-tinged bouquet that opens beautifully in the glass (and has no problem following on from Jadot's Montrachet!) The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity that cuts through the crisp citrus fruit laced with orange pith, stem ginger and white pepper. There is real cohesion and persistence on the finish - just an excellent Corton-Charlemagne.
