The 2020 Corton La Trilogie du Patrimoine is a powerful yet finely sculpted Grand Cru, capturing the warmth and concentration of the vintage through a lens of elegance and mineral clarity. The bouquet opens with aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry, rose petal, and subtle spice, layered with notes of forest floor, dark mineral tones, and a hint of cedar. On the palate, the wine is broad and structured, driven by firm, velvety tannins and vibrant acidity that bring balance to its generous fruit. Flavors of red and black berries, savory herbs, crushed stone, and delicate oak nuances unfold with impressive depth, building toward a long, resonant finish marked by tension and quiet power. In magnum, the 2020 Trilogie promises an even slower evolution, revealing the full harmony and complexity of Corton’s three great climats over decades of aging.
Louis Jadot Description
Domaine des Héritiers Louis Jadot represents the historic core of the Jadot estate, overseeing a remarkable collection of Côte d’Or vineyards farmed with a commitment to purity, balance, and faithful terroir expression. In Corton, Jadot is particularly privileged, holding parcels across several of the hill’s most celebrated climats. The cuvée La Trilogie du Patrimoine brings together fruit from three emblematic Grand Cru sites—Clos du Roi, Bressandes, and Renardes—each contributing distinct structural and aromatic elements shaped by the hill’s complex mix of marl, limestone, and iron-rich soils. Jadot’s traditional approach—gentle vinification, thoughtful extraction, and aging in carefully calibrated oak—allows the terroir of Corton to speak with precision. The result is a wine that embodies the domaine’s long-standing philosophy: depth without heaviness, structure with finesse, and a timeless sense of Burgundian authenticity.
