The 2023 Louis Jadot Corton Grèves Grand Cru is a distinguished red Burgundy from the historic Corton hill in the Côte de Beaune, where Pinot Noir achieves both structure and complexity. Sourced from the renowned Grèves section of the Grand Cru appellation, this wine offers a compelling balance of power and elegance. The nose is aromatic and layered, revealing notes of black cherry, red currant and wild raspberry, alongside hints of violet, forest floor, spice and subtle oak.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with finely structured tannins and vibrant acidity providing freshness and longevity. Flavours of dark cherry, plum and red berry fruits are complemented by savoury earthy nuances and gentle spice, creating a wine of depth and precision. The finish is long, refined and persistent, showcasing the concentration and mineral character that define great Corton Grand Cru Pinot Noir.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Burgundy enthusiasts seeking a Grand Cru with both structure and finesse. Its layered fruit profile and savoury complexity make it a natural match for roast duck, lamb, game birds or mushroom-based dishes. While approachable with decanting, this wine is built for cellaring and is expected to develop additional complexity over the next 12–20 years.
