2021 Corton-Charlemagne, Domaine des Heritiers de Louis Jadot

Aromas of lime zest, freshly baked bread, pear, white flowers and wet stones preface the 2021 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot), a full-bodied, ample and satiny wine that's chalky and structured, with notable concentration, racy acids and a long, resonant finish. It's a very strong performance that transcends any of the vintage's limitations. ~ (95) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 1-31-2023

The 2021 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has an appealing bouquet with yellow plum, hazelnut and light almond scents, seeming to gain delineation in the glass. The palate is well balanced with orange pith and a dab of sour lemon. Displaying moderate depth, it becomes more malic towards the finish. It would benefit from a touch more complexity, but it should age well in bottle. ~ (94) Neal Martin, Vinous 11-1-2022

An impressive richness of aroma and texture with stacks of mirabelle and pomelo character. Stunning concentration on the mid-palate, then the chalky tannins gently build and the flavors expand. Crisp and delicate finish. Drink or hold. ~ (94) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 6-29-2023

Cooler and airier aromas include those of mostly green apple, mineral reduction, crushed fennel and white flowers. There is almost painful intensity to the beautifully textured if slightly less concentrated medium-bodied flavors that exude a pungent stoniness on the tautly muscular, moderately austere and bone-dry finale that goes on and on. It's rare that the Jadot CC appears more interesting than the Demoiselles but at this very early juncture, it seems to have a slight edge. Either way, this is terrific. ~ (96) Allen Meadows, Burghound 6-10-2023
