Power and grace go together in this decadently perfumed, cherry-soaked wine. Profoundly ripe and framed by fine-grained, rigid tannins, the structured, weighty wine is lifted by luminous raspberry and red-cherry flavors. Stunning in youth, the wine will continue to improve through 2040.

The 2019 Corton-Pougets Grand Cru was ever so slightly reduced on the nose, but opens with time to reveal quite intense black fruit laced with vanilla. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, very good weight and a fine bead of acidity. This conveys the most energy of the three Corton Grand Crus from Jadot that I tasted. Velvety texture on the finish. Lovely. Just one used barrel produced.

This well-toned red is marked by graphite, cherry, blackberry and oak spice. Delivers a dense spine of tannins that underlines it all, as this feels like it's shutting down at this stage. Shows purity and fine length. Best from 2025 through 2047.
