James Suckling, 97 Points 

"Complex and sensual nose of citrus and pineapple with a touch of melted butter, the powerful and highly structured palate energized by the driving mineral acidity that pushes the tightly wound finish out a long way. Drink or hold." 

Jasper Morris, 95-97 Points 

"From Pougets. The Jadot habit is to show this after the Montrachet, but it manages to stand up all the same. The 2019 is really quite a complex wine. Sunny of course, but not over-ripe, this is definitely a big wine, not much more than 14%, but explosive on the palate. This wine can carry it, but you will really have to wait to enjoy it at its best." 

Wine Advocate, 95 Points

"Aromas of citrus zest, freshly baked bread, beeswax, buttered popcorn and vanilla pod introduce the 2019 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot), a full-bodied, satiny, layered wine that's rich and muscular, with a concentrated, structured core of fruit girdled by racy acids and chalky dry extract. Long and resonant, it will reward patience." 

Decanter, 94 Points 

"From a domaine-owned plot facing due south in Les Pougets, purchased by the Jadot family in the 19th century. Somewhat closed initially, but opening with a bit of time to show a ripe pear fruit character, with hints of beeswax and fresh hay. On the palate, the wine is rich and substantial, with balanced acidity that reflects the southern exposition. With time this should open well, for there is a lot of potential here." 

Wine Spectator, 94 Points 

"A rich, creamy style, featuring peach, apple, lemon and vanilla aromas and flavors underlined by vibrant structure. Tightens up as this evolves through the finish, where oak spice accents linger."
