Corton Pougets 2005 Jadot

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (92)

Jadot’s 2005 Corton Pougets displays luscious plum and black cherry in conjunction with grilled, singed lamb and chalky, alkaline, stony underlying character. Allspice, black pepper and pungent herbal shadings become evident on the palate. This impressively dense, meaty, mineral-laden wine displays polished tannins and persistently clear, ripe bitter-sweet black fruit, leading to a long, firmly gripping finish. Don’t be in any hurry to revisit it, and expect at least a dozen years of interesting development.

Winespectator (95)

Offers very pure, if rigid, aromas of cherry, currant and spice. Powerful, firmly structured and balanced, with the oak absorbed.—Jacques Lardière non-blind retrospective tasting
