Wine making This wine is fermented in vats during 3-4 weeks and aged 18-20 months in oak barrels before bottling. Winemaker's comments / Gastronomy Maison Louis Jadot Corton Grand Cru yields a complex, powerful wine that is rich yet restrained, with concentrated Pinot Noir fruit and a full, fragrant berry and oak bouquet.

The red wines will complement roast meat or meat in a highly-seasoned sauce, game and most cheeses. Preservation This wine should not be drunk before 5 years and will certainly improve until 15 to 20 years.
