The 2022 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot), which is continuing its élevage in foudre, unwinds in the glass with notes of citrus oil, pear, hazelnuts, fresh mint and subtle reduction. Full-bodied, layered and chalky, with a rich core of fruit that's still youthfully tightly wound, it concludes with a long, resonant finish. It's one of the high points of the range this year.

Recently stirred so cloudy. Affects the bouquet too, so that is hard to judge. Unquestioned weight, plenty of energy, the lees with the wood shows more at the finish. No reason why this should not be an excellent wine. Another sample was produced, representing the component raised in foudre only, 10 barrels worth, so one third of the whole, has a clear pale lemon and lime colour. The fruit is clearly ripe but with no signs of exotic fruit. This fills the palate beautifully, a little citrus, enough white fruit flesh and then a long stony finish. Absolutely what it should be, and in 2022 something more. Drink from 2032.

A beautifully layered, cool and airy nose freely reveals its aromas of spice, acacia blossom, crushed fennel, wet stone and a plethora of citrus elements. The racy and almost painfully intense medium-bodied flavors possess fine delineation on the impressively powerful, focused, balanced and lingering finish where a hint of bitter lemon character adds a sense of lift. This should also amply repay extended keeping. Drink: 2032+

Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (June 2024)

The 2022 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a perfumed nose: scents of brioche, touches of popcorn and plenty of citrus fruit, a step up from the previous vintage. The palate is well-balanced with good weight. But here, I need to discern more precision and terroir expression. Orange pith and tangerine, a touch of apricot towards the finish. Quite a forthright Corton-Charlemagne, but the aromatics outclass the palate at the moment. Drinking Window 2025 - 2042.

Cask sample. Sweet almond paste on the nose – very true to appellation! Substantial yet sweet rather than savoury. Well put together but there is a bit more nerve in white burgundies at the southern end of the Côte d’Or. There is certainly some purity and grand-cru concentration here. Long. (JR)
