Louis Jadot is one of the most consistent growers and négociants in Burgundy, offering a vast portfolio of wines – from easy-drinking, accessible Bourgogne to complex, age-worthy Grand Cru expressions. Based in Beaune, the Maison is today run by Pierre-Henri Gagey, assisted by head winemaker Frédéric Barnier. This is their Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, which comes from one of the oldest vineyards owned by Jadot. The Chardonnay grapes are picked by hand, gently pressed and then fermented in oak barrels, one third of which are new. Aging lasts about 15 months on fine lees before bottling.

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The 2011 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru from Louis Latour has a much more austere bouquet than the 2011 from Domaine du Pavillon, although it is well defined and should open with bottle age. Light resinous notes develop with aeration accompanied by dried white flowers, then returning after ten minutes, there are suggestions of volatile aromas. The palate is crisp and taut with a fine thread of acidity. This is very harmonious and poised with good depth and real grace on the spice-tinged finish that demonstrates commendable persistence.
