Tasting notes
The most structured white in the cellar this year is the 2024 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot), a taut and chiseled wine evocative of wet stones, crisp orchard fruit, white flowers and lime salt. Medium- to full-bodied, chiseled and racy, it's built around tangy acids and chalky dry extract that asserts itself on the finish.

The 2024 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has an expressive bouquet with nectarine, white peach, lime cordial and yellow flower scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly honeyed texture. There is a keen line of acidity but it just misses the complexity of Jadot's other Grand Crus on the finish. Give it a couple of years in bottle.

Made in a foudre. Clean pale lemon. The bouquet is refreshingly pure, yet with a certain weight of ripe fruit. Citrus intensity through the middle, white fruit cascading over the stones, a powerful intensity, and quite some class.
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
