Maison Louis Jadot 2010 Corton-Charlemagne
Grand Cru White 750 ml
Score: 93
Tasted: Jun 11, 2013
Drink: 2022+
Issue: 51
Tasting note: A classic and exuberantly fresh if restrained nose of Granny Smith apples, wet stone, floral and white-fleshed orchard fruit aromas. The intensely mineral-driven, muscular and big-bodied flavors possess impressive mid-palate concentration and fine richness as they completely coat the mouth with dry extract before exploding on the bone dry and palate etching finish that is almost painfully intense. This is going to need plenty of bottle age as it's very, very backward but it should more than repay your patience.

The 2010 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has an inviting floral bouquet with touches of orange blossom and dried apricot that is nuanced and alluring. The palate is generous on the opening, laden with spicy fruit, orange zest and lemongrass that builds to a voluminous finish. The palate is not as subtle as the aromatics suggest, but you cannot argue that it is packed full of flavor. Drink 2015-2025. |
