Louis Jadot Corton Pougets Grand Cru Domaine des Heritiers 2015

Professional Ratings

• 96 Wine Enthusiast
  Powerful and structured, this opulent wine from a grand cru that makes up over half the vineyards in Aloxe-Corton boasts succulent fruit and dense tannins. It has power and structure, with a strong mineral texture that's still bursting with youthful fruit. Hold until 2025 for added depth and character.

  The 2015 Corton Pougets Grand Cru, under the Domaine des Héritiers Jadot label, has a crisp, quite pure bouquet with the fruit a little darker than the Corton Grèves at the moment but equally well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, moderate depth, rounded in the mouth with layers of cranberry and strawberry fruit. There is a pinch of sea salt right on the finish that shows fine precision and focus. This is outstanding.
  Range: 93-95

  A tight grip on the rich cherry, floral and spice flavors gives this red an austere profile. The dense matrix of tannins adds to that feeling as this finishes on the dry side for now. The potential is in the long, mineral-drenched aftertaste. Best from 2021 through 2036.
• 93 Decanter
  Creamy notes of cassis, dark berries, espresso and cedar introduce the most serious, ample and potentially complex of Jadot's 2015 Cortons, structured around ripe tannins enrobed in sappy fruit.

  A polite grand cru, this shows its power in a sophisticated structure that seems to increase in size and scope as the flavors open with air. It starts with a red-fruit glow, then expands into scents of roses and red currants, the lush fruit energized by a crescendo of tannins. Decant this and watch it develop in the company of roast duck, or tuck it away for ten years.
