The 2023 Corton-Pougets Grand Cru (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot) is also an attractive effort, delivering notes of sweet red berries, spices and orange zest followed by a medium to full-bodied, velvety and supple palate that's suave and seamless. This is another cuvée that will offer a broad drinking window.
A full ruby to crimson. The bouquet makes a statement, more savoury than sucrosity. The Corton Pougets has fine depth too, with tannins, but all this will come together. The quality of pinot is excellent and there is an element of throwback in the style Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted Oct 2024. ****
Pougets sits on Aloxe-Corton's upper slope, close to Le Charlemagne. Jadot's parcel, acquired in 1914, is 1.2 hectares in size and faces south. Bright ruby in colour with a powerful, linear nose of red fruit - this is young and pristine. The palate has the grip you would expect but the fruit manages the tannin well, matching it to create chalky, crunchy tones of cherry and plum. A wine of presence and power, that is well made and which will likely show well after a decade in bottle.
