Light garnet color with a glossy sheen. Earthy clay nose with a solvent lift, red fruits, embers and smoke. An excellent bouquet with much to enjoy. The core of the palate is its acidity, dense but fine grained, and mouth drying tannins again super fine. The acidity and tannins carry the palate, but the finesse of both gives intensity with lightness. Fine and dry. Food accompaniment a must.

Raspberry, cranberry, dark cherry with some forest floor on the medium nose. Palate shows a bit more acidity than I would expect at this age. More fruit, grilled mushroom and lavender hints toward the finish which was medium plus in length but on the dry side. Maybe 2026 will show softer.

Ripe fruit aromas, acidic mulberry fruit on palate leading to an intense long finish of fruit, fine tannin and violets. Great wine. Be very interesting to see how it develops.

2019 Visit to Cromwell (Central Otago, NZ): Blair had these two Burgundies open (for 24 hours) that he served to us double blind. Piemontese tar, earth and black fruit on bouquet. Schist, damp black soil and wet iron. On palate, earthy, highly concentrated, very black fruited. I picked both wines as Cortons, but picked nothing more. As well as plenty of matière, structure and mid palate, the Jadot showed quite vibrant, assertive acidity. The wine seemed also a little worked, which should have pointed toward Jadot. Tannic – albeit fine grained tannins – and still quite closed. But overall a very good Corton, drinkable on the day (with this much oxygen a good idea) but really a Corton to drink beginning around 2025.

OK but not great, magnum format, felt a tad shut down (which for the first time for this vintage, in the last 6 months, I've felt with a few of my 2010's be shut... are they going to sleep???)... anyway, a bit shut, not friendly and open, but didn't have say a brutish structure / blockishness (like maybe 2006 is showing now)... this still felt like '10 but just shut... hoping I won't open my next magnum for 10 years
This was very primary, I would not say closed but the aromas were distinctively primary with notes of raspberry and some dark berries, especially for a wine of 10 years of age. The palate is balanced and the tannins are polished which gives this wine a very good outlook. I had great older bottles of this. If you own this, I suggest to wait at until 2025 if not 2030 before opening it.

Rated more on potential. This is a LONG way from being ready. Wait, wait, wait! A six hour decant, then after an hour in glass started to show some promise.

Rubin röd, fin doft, mörk frukt,rök,läder, kryddig, jord, viss bett i tanninerna men inget som stör, bra syra och välbalanserad, medellång eftersmak av primärfrukten, helt klart ung med större potential men god redan nu!

On the nose singed wood with Pinot fruit. Smells like this wine was made next to a quarry. Relatively thick, generous red fruit for a corton with soft tannins that fan out and become more prominent on the infinite finish. The stony note re-emerges as the wine departs and works with the tannins to create shimmering beauty and length.

Anyone thinking of drinking one of these right now BACK AWAY AND MOVE YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM THE BOTTLE. This is shut down hard, so much so that even after a long decant it is offering up very little. These wines need 20 years at least to come round. There is incredible potential peeking out here, but respect the wine and just let it sleep.

From 375ml. Crunchy dark fruit, tar, espresso grounds, very fine tannins that are sensed more than felt. I found the flavor profile surprisingly Barolo-like. Very closed, this was promising but needs many years.

Cracked another bottle (even though it is too young) because I couldn't reach the 2007 in the cellar. As usual, this is tight upon opening but surprisingly this starts to bloom out after 2 hours, with layers of perfumed roses, gritty soil and that sense of 'otherness' that the top Burgundies posses. Great stuff - 10 years from being ready.

Savory, bright red fruit, lashings of fine tannins. The wine looks brick and the legs are medium. It has a highly complex, indescribable bouquet. It is hard to nail down because the wine is somewhat backward right now, but might be best described as cranberry, gooseberry -- with marmalade and apple lurking. The body is medium. The wine has a rich mineral texture. The wine finishes long. Very enjoyable overall and clearly has a long life ahead. This is the second 2010 I have had; tastings are consistent. Would suggest not drinking this wine for a good 3-5 years. Give it at least 1-2 hours in the decanter if you decide to open one now.

This is great. Still the best-ever Pougets I've ever had from Jadot, and just about as good as Corton gets. Some of the sticky grip this showed last year is starting to recede and this is becoming more backwards and solid, but we're still in the window where this has plenty to show off even though I suspect it'll shut down hard pretty soon and quite possibly need all of two decades to reemerge. (If that sounds overly long, taste the '99 right now and get back to me.) So what is it, exactly, that's going on here even though most of the primary fruit is gone? What we have is an intense rock quarry of a Corton, firmly on the mineral rather than animal side of Corton at the moment, that not only smells and tastes like a glassful of pulverized rock but has the assertive structure and solidity to go with it.

This is VERY good. I know some don't like Corton but you should. The value here is really something else. This is sexy. Red fruited. Exotic. Long on the finish. I can't say this is the best ever Corton Pougets because I haven't tasted enough of them but this is darn good. A+
Like sneaking into some weird and wonderful sex club where strange and exotic things are just about to happen - the sap of anticipation rises - booom - then someone slams the door in your face. This has a tickle, a tease, a whiff of what is to come - all nuance and innuendo and then it shuts down and you can but just about imagine what excess lies ahead - a cornucopia of terroir and black fruit and minerals most likely. Oh sweet goddess of time please pass so one can kiss thine lips. Come quickly.
Translucent ruby. Menthol, evergreen, tree sap aromas. Deep, brooding mineral-laced chocolate. Beefy. Like teeny tiny berries. Earth and mushroom. Silky and tightly wound. Perfect balance and a sneaky 1 min+ finish.
Way too young now, but will be fantastic after 10+ years in a cold cellar.

Ouch...tough one to call right now. There is certainly the right amount of savoury characteristics, acidity, tannin even. What about the fruit? Very dense, closed. Maybe it will blossom, I haven't got enough experience with mature Corton. Time will tell. It's a marvelous, imposing drink, even at this stage, with all the sous-bois you'd want, smoke, heaps of red fruit. Long, yet primary finish. I wouldn't touch this for at least 15 years. I'll be watching the development of the fruit with great anticipation. Potentially great

I'm gonna go all Sucklingesque on this one and call this the Best Jadot Corton-Pougets Ever. At least it's the best since I started drinking them with the '97s. I've been on a Corton kick lately after another producer's '62 Marechaudes delivered one of those stars-in-alignment Burgundy experiences that just leaves you speechless, with dazzling complexity and a richness of material that it seems almost impossible to imagine any wine can hold on to for five decades, but damnit if it didn't seem that this bottle had exactly the kind of stuff that can take it to that point somewhere down the line. It has almost Richebourg-like weight and density but what really impressed me about this was how much personality it is exhibiting. Jadot is notorious for needing time to unwind but this is showing so much Corton-typical character now that it's just irresistible to drink: sticky, grippy vinous material and a melange of gamey meatiness with a stoniness so powerful that this practically achieves Soil-to-Glass Transfer status.

Tasting with Jacques Lardiere from Louis Jadot (Praelum Wine Bar): This is a serious wine. A little brooding at the moment but you can sense the huge reserve of extract just hiding in the background. There's a powerful beast hiding here. Needs plenty of time. Outstanding.
