Jadot Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2020

98 points James Suckling: "What a sensual nose of Amalfi lemon, ripe mirabelle and apricot this Corton-Charlemagne has! Gigantic fruit and almost as much structure behind it, the fine tannins underlining all this beautifully. Mouthwateringly fresh acidity and a saline touch that really ignites this at the very long, brilliant finish. From the south side of the hill of Corton. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. (8/8/22)"

96 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "This comes from southern-facing vines and possesses an exotic collection of aromas. Among them are bananas, rainwater, sweet spice and dried flowers. Gorgeously scented with an equally perfumed palate that haunts the long finish, this is very much a beckoning, come-hither kind of wine. Again, the various appellations of Corton just crush it in this vintage! 2022-34. (2022)"

93-96 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Pale lemon yellow. The bouquet is quite quiet though with promise. This is classic on the palate, rippling stones dusted lightly in lemon. The oak in support is well judged. Perfect acidity to finish – it is there but ripe not trenchant. Fine and quite nuanced finish with some floral notes. (Nov 2021)"

93-95+ points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot) is broad and muscular, unfurling in the glass with aromas of lime cordial, orange zest, white flowers and pastry cream. Full-bodied, rich and textural, it's a thick, fleshy wine with terrific concentration and tangy balancing acids. (Jan 2022)"

93-95 points/'Sweet spot,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from Les Pougets in Aloxe-Corton). An elegant and exceptionally pretty nose combines plenty of floral elements with those of Granny Smith apples, mineral reduction, freshly squeezed citrus and an admirably subtle hint of oak. The succulent, concentrated and, unusually for a young Corton-Charlemagne, seductive big-bodied flavors exude an evident stoniness on the palate staining, citrusy, bone-dry and hugely long finish that really fans out as it sits in the mouth. I very much like the balance and this beauty should also age effortlessly. Drink: 2032+. (Jun 2022)"

93-95 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a lifted, liquorice-tinged bouquet that opens beautifully in the glass (and has not problem following on from Jadot’s Montrachet!) The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity that cuts through the crisp citrus fruit laced with orange pith, stem ginger and white pepper. There is real cohesion and persistence on the finish - just an excellent Corton-Charlemagne. Closure: Diam Drink: 2027-2060. (Dec 2021)"

Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): "(Domaine des Heritiers). A fuller nose with more open floral and citrus complexity today. Here is density of flavour – but it’s not a dense wine – concentrated, almost chalky, but beautifully balanced. Big wine, really impressive wine – be patient – keep it 10 years, drinking your Demoiselles whilst waiting!! Late arriving phenolic texture too. (Dec 2021)"
