Tasting notes: "The 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot) has evolved beautifully in bottle, offering an elegantly weathered bouquet of citrus oil, peach and apricot mingled with fresh bread, toasted almonds, mint and vanilla bean. This wine is full-bodied, rich and textured, with a fleshy core of fruit, a chalky structure and bright acids. Its powerful, broad profile reflects its origins in Les Pougets in the commune of Aloxe-Corton."
- Service : 16-17 C°.
- Garde : 5 to 30 years, depending on the success of the vintage.
- Grape variety : Pinot Noir
