Corton Pougets Grand Cru Domaine Louis Jadot 2016

Wineadvocate

The 2016 Corton-Pougets Grand Cru (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot) is excellent, unwinding in the glass with a youthfully reserved bouquet of ripe cherries, wild berries and bergamot, complemented by savory bass notes of mossy forest floor, espresso roast and grilled squab. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and tight-knit, with excellent amplitude and dimension, fine-grained but firm structuring tannins and a penetrating, mineral finish. The potential here is very fine indeed but this is not a wine for those seeking immediate gratification and a decade of patience will be in order.

Only Jadot and Rapet bottle Les Pougets and they both make excellent wines here. Full vibrant purple in colour with some concentrated ripe fruit on the nose. Quite a strong mouthful here but there is a quality and depth to the fruit, impressive.
