Description
The Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru appellation is shared by the two villages of Aloxe-Corton and Pernand-Vergelesses in the northern part of the Côte de Beaune. The village of Aloxe-Corton has the rare feature that more than half of its area is covered with Grand Cru vineyards. The exposure varies from east to south and southwest.
This vineyard is one of the oldest owned by Louis Jadot since the 19th century. It is located in the heart of the appellation (next to Corton Pougets) which was extended after 1966. Originally it was the only place allowed to bear the appellation Corton-Charlemagne. This vineyard is ideally oriented to the south.
The Louis Jadot Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot) is broad and muscular, unfolding in the glass with aromas of lime, orange peel, white flowers and pastry cream. Full, rich and textural, it is a thick, fleshy wine with great concentration and zesty balancing acidity. The 2017 was awarded 93-95/100 Parker (see link next to image for full review).
FACT: The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you come to pick up the wine you will also receive a nice discount. We are almost next to the highway with plenty of parking. Click here for address

The 2017 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot) is excellent, displaying a lovely bouquet of lemon oil, white flowers, crushed chalk and a discrete touch of new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, tensile and tight-knit, with chewy structuring dry extract, tangy acids and a long, grippy finish. This is built for the cellar and will be well worth seeking out.
Jadot's Frédéric Barnier is pleased with his 2017 portfolio. It's a good white vintage, he says, neither over nor underripe, and in some instances—as is the norm at this address—malolactic fermentation was blocked to retain additional freshness. The reds, he says, have gained immensely with élevage, taking on depth and dimension that they initially seemed to lack after their comparatively precocious malolactic fermentations concluded. Winemaking here is something of a constant: destemmed grapes, wooden fermentation vessels with minimal temperature control and punching down, long cuvaisons and maturation in oak barrels—of which one-third are new, one-third are once-used and one-third are twice-used. Whites are direct pressed, fermented and matured in barrels. The result is a long-lived, muscular style that ages very well indeed, and there is no doubt that this is one of the finest négociant houses—not just in terms of quality, but also in terms of consistency. My notes parse the portfolio, identifying particular high points, but even taken as a whole Barnier and his team have every right to be pleased with a very good 2017 collection in both red and white. Some of Jadot's successful 2016s are also revisited here, with more to come in the near future. Readers will also note that the different domaine sources and maison wines are now more clearly distinguished in the Wine Advocate's database nomenclature.

This has beautiful purity with striking aromas of lemons and limes, as well as fresh yellow grapefruit and a strong, wet-stone edge. The palate has immense power with precision and focus, delivering a long and regal finish with such power and length. Three hectares in Corton with 1.8 planted to white grapes. Try from 2022.

Louis Jadot Cote de Beaune
In contrast to the Côte de Nuits - where almost exclusively red Burgundy is made - in the Côte de Beaune mostly white, but also some red wines are made. Both wine regions are part of the Côte d 'Or and are located east of the Hautes Côtes and are separated by wine city Beaune.
The most beautiful red Burgundies of the Côte d 'Or are made of pinot noir from marl-rich plots along a long low-lying hillside. The white grape groves can be found where the bottom of the 'Gold Coast' consists largely of limestone.
Both the vineyards of the Côte de Nuits and - Beaune are oriented east and southeast, and are therefore reasonably protected from the wet west wind.
The recent history of Burgundy house Louis Jadot started in 1970 when oenologist Jacques Lardière offered his services to André Gagey, the then general manager and father of the current - eponymous - manager of the company. As the chief man of the technical staff, the maître de chais, he is responsible for the more than 140 hectares of vineyards and the vinification process of some 150 wines from the Chablis, Côte d'Or, Côte Chalonnaise, Maconnais and Beaujolais. His approach is unique in the wine world at the time: he lets nature take its full course.
The quirky winemaker shuns the use of herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers and any other crop stimulants or protectants. Because, he believes, a healthy soil gives strong grapes and therefore good wines. In fact, Lardière is so confident in nature that he does not work with industrial yeasts, he finds complicated chemical analyzes in laboratories superfluous, and peeling and fermentation take place without temperature-influencing equipment. Only limited pruning and a 'green harvest' are allowed.
The grapes for the wines of Louis Jadot are always harvested manually. This prevents over- and unripe fruits from ending up in the vinification process. In addition, the grape pickers use small boxes when harvesting so that the bunches are not bruised or damaged prematurely. Grapes that nevertheless escape this attention are still removed from the selection table or table de tri.
The starting point for the vinification of Jadot wines is that each appellation has its unique smell and taste. The terroir so famous in Burgundy must always be recognizable in the wine. As a result, there is no such thing as general as a Jadot "wine style": each type of Louis Jadot wine has its own individual character.
