Excellent powerful but fresh purple. There is power to the nose but of the right sort even some nobility. Pretty rich on the palate a very dark raspberry fruit possible a dusting of chocolate but the important things is that the structure is in the right place and very well balanced. And not the fierce tannins that you can find here.
vHere too there is ample but not really invasive oak and menthol influences to the earthier and more sauvage-inflected aromas of ripe red and dark berry aromas. The succulent round and fleshy big-bodied flavors also possess evident muscle on the less mineral-driven but equally powerful finish that is shaped by an equally firm tannic spine. Patience is an absolute must. (Drink starting 2035)
The 2020 Corton-Grèves Grand Cru has a well-defined bouquet with smoky red berry fruit just a light hickory note here (possibly emanating from the barrel.) The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit fine grip nicely balanced with a fresh slightly citric finish that lends tension and elegance. Give this 4-6 years in bottle for the aromatics to cohere and this should evolve into a fine Corton-Grèves. (Drink between 2026-2048)
The 2020 Corton Grèves Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) wafts from the glass with scents of smoky plums petals dark chocolate and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied deep and muscular it's rich and concentrated with lively acids and powdery tannins.
