The 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot) has turned out beautifully in bottle, offering up an elegantly patinated bouquet of citrus oil, peach and apricot mingled with fresh bread, toasted almonds, mint and vanilla pod. This is full-bodied, rich and textural, with a fleshy core of fruit, chalky structure and bright acids. Its powerful, broad-shouldered profile reflects its origins in Les Pougets in the commune of Aloxe-Corton.

The 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a fresh bouquet of fennel, mint and light hazelnut aromas, all complementing the citrus fruit. The palate is vibrant and fresh on the entry with a fine bead of acidity. Harmonious from start to finish, it delivers an appealing spiciness that leaves the tongue tingling, thanks to a dab of ginger on the aftertaste. Very fine.
