"Jadot produced three Cortons in 1990. The Corton Pougets is a backward yet spectacular wine. This is a specialty of the house and is often among the finest red wines from the Corton appellation. The 1990 is a huge, massive, monster of a wine, with extraordinary richness, a viscous texture, and astonishing chewiness in its glycerin-dominated, high alcohol, tannic finish .... Given the number of wines produced by Louis Jadot in 1990, it is hard to believe anyone has ever been more successful with so many different appellations. Moreover, what is so admirable about the Jadot red burgundies is that each of the wines is different. Jadot enjoyed remarkable success in the Côte de Beaune. Given the fact that these wines sell at lower prices than Jadot's offerings from the Côte de Nuits, consumers have an opportunity to purchase some stunning red burgundies from a great vintage at exceptionally fair prices. Furthermore, as I indicated in issue 83, all of Jadot's 1990s were bottled without filtration. Given the appalling weakness of the American dollar, the prices charged for these wines are to be applauded."

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.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
