2022 Jadot Corton Pougets Grand Cru

Decanter

In stock

One of Burgundy's best value Grand Cru red wines. Les Pougets shares with its famous neighbour Le Charlemagne, a patchwork slope of lime and iron-rich marlstone soils. Pinot Noir loves this environment and and produces there an elegant yet deceptively intense, earthy and masculine style. With time to brood and unfurl in cellar, this lesser-known Grand Cru rewards handsomely in the glass. Great value for a serious and age-worthy Grand Cru!

$250.00 in mixed 6+ or $280.00 per bottle

Overview

Its Origins

In Burgundy’s Côte d’Or, where the integrity of the producer is often more important than a renowned appellation or vineyard, Maison Louis Jadot is one of the most venerable, most trusted and revered wine houses. Jadot’s winemaking team, now led by Technical Director Frédéric Barnier, has maintained a balance of tradition and technology in winemaking that allows Jadot’s wines to express the subtle differences between terroirs that are the essence of fine Burgundy. Though officially retired in 2013, esteemed winemaker Jacques Lardière continues to work in an advisory role and on special projects. Founded in 1859, the house has grown through a long-term policy of acquisition or management of exceptional vineyard lands and owns 528 acres of vineyards, including nearly 280 acres of the Cote d’Or’s most prestigious Premier and Grand Cru plots.

What The Critics Say

95/100 Decanter, Charles Curtis MW

"The 2022 version of Jadot’s Corton Pougets boasts a charismatic ripe plum and fig aroma with notes of earth and fresh flowers. The texture is silky and refined; the fruit ripens well in this south-facing site next to Le Charlemagne. The Jadot plot is planted to white wine at the top in the thin, rocky soils and Pinot in the siltier soils below. The grapes are destemmed and gently fermented before ageing in cask (one-third new); the delicious result demonstrates that both reds and whites are equally at home in this terroir." Drink 2027 - 2055

93-95/100 Vinous, Neal Martin

"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." Drink 2030 - 2060

92-94/100 Parkers Wine Advocate, William Kelley

"Exhibiting aromas of sweet red berries and cherries mingled with rose petals, orange zest, spices and smoke, the 2022 CortonPougets Grand Cru (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot) is medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with a deep core of lively fruit, refined tannins and a long, resonant finish. This is always one of the highlights of the range, and this year’s rendition is no exception."
