Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This powerfully structured, rich-fruited wine offers deep, layered berry and oak aromas and flavors, and a persistent finish. It should be held for 5 years in bottle before being opened, and will develop for 15 to 20 years in the cellar.

Serve with roasts or highly seasoned meats, game and most cheeses.

    The 2018 Corton-Pougets Grand Cru (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot) is always one of Jadot's finest reds and arguably represents the house's most overlooked wine. Opening in the glass with notes of sweet berry fruit, plums, licorice, rich soil tones and orange rind, the wine is full-bodied, deep and layered, with excellent concentration, lively acids and a powerful, muscular profile, concluding with a long and sapid finish.

    A distinct whiff of Amarena fleets across this wine's nose before senses fill with the ripeness of black cherry. Cherry richness, sometimes with an overtone of chocolate, fills the generous but defined palate where velvety tannins are firm underneath their supple surface. They still crackle but reveal ample freshness and verve on the rich, muscular and toned body. Aromatic tenderness returns on the finish.

    COMMENTARY: The 2018 Domaine des Héritiers Louis Jadot Corton Pougets is all about Pinot Noir elegance. TASTING NOTES: This wine exhibits a tremendous rush of bright red fruit aromas and flavors as it shines with an excellent liveliness in the finish. Pair it with grilled, line-caught, wild salmon.

    The Jadot holdings are in the Les Pougets climat, which faces due south and can produce quite full-bodied wines. That's not the case here, mind you, as this was picked early and was prevented from going through malolactic fermentation to retain precious acidity. It's a refined, subtle, alluring Grand Cru with notes of white flowers and citrus, some flinty reduction and undertones of aniseed and nutmeg.

    The bright, fresh black cherry fruit is framed by vanilla and toasty oak in this dense red. It gets a lift from the compact tannins, that leave a dusty, cocoa-like feel on the taut finish. Best from 2024 through 2042.

Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

Aloxe-Corton Wine

Cote de Beaune, Burgundy

Prevailing over the charming village of Aloxe, the hill of Corton actually commands the entire appellation. Corton is the only Grand Cru for Pinot Noir in the entire Côte de Beaune. Its Grand Crus red wines can be described simply as “Corton” or Corton hyphenated with other names. These vineyards cover the southeast face of the hill of Corton where soils are rich in red chalk, clay and marl.

Dense and austere when young, the best Corton Pinot Noir will peak in complexity and flavor after about a decade, offering some of the best rewards in cellaring among Côte de Beaune reds. Pommard and Volnay offer similar potential.

The great whites of the village are made within Corton-Charlemagne, a cooler, narrow band of vineyards at the top of the hill that descends west towards the village of Pernand-Vergelesses. Here the thin and white stony soils produce Chardonnay of exceptional character, power and finesse. A minimum of five years in bottle is suggested but some can be amazing long after. Fully half of Aloxe-Corton is considered Grand Cru.
