"One of Jadot's greatest whites ever. Very impressive for its pure, clean and racy clarity of mineral flavors (as expected from a great Corton-Charlemagne). Powerful yet delicate, it has some heavy oak but is also full-bodied and marvelously balanced for long-aging. Greets you with violet and butter aromas from the new wood, then performs acrobatics with lots of chalky, wet stone, tropical and ripe fruit flavors. Refined finish is accessible now, but better wait."

Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Aloxe-Corton is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune, ringing the Corton hill and holding Premier Cru vineyards; it produces mostly firm, structured, earthy Pinot Noir reds built for medium-term aging.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
