Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2012 tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru from Louis Jadot has a more complex bouquet compared to its peers with subtle yellow flower, beeswax and honeysuckle scents that gently waft from the glass. The palate is well balanced with a lightly honeyed entry and good presence in the mouth. It does not deliver otherworldly complexity, but there is a lot of "wine" here (to put it banally) with a pleasant tang of dried orange peel on the finish. This is worth seeking out.

An enticing mix of peach, pear, spice and stone aromas and flavors, all backed by a lively structure. Hangs together, with lime, spice and saline elements on the long aftertaste. Best from 2018 through 2032. 347 cases imported.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Corton-Charlemagne Select to Add
