Produced entirely from Chardonnay, it combines the concentration and stature of Corton-Charlemagne with traditional barrel fermentation and extended lees ageing. The vintage received 96 points from Wine Enthusiast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLouis Jadot described 2010 as an unpredictable and challenging Burgundy vintage, marked by a long, cold winter, uneven flowering and reduced yields. Improved conditions later in the season allowed the fruit to reach good maturity, with the resulting wines showing considerably more promise than initially expected. Harvest began on 21 September.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVineyard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru appellation spans Aloxe-Corton and Pernand-Vergelesses in the northern Côte de Beaune. Louis Jadot's parcel is one of the house's oldest holdings, owned since the 19th century and situated in the historic heart of the appellation next to Corton Pougets.

Fermentation took place in oak barrels produced by Louis Jadot's own cooperage, with approximately one-third new oak. The wine was aged for around 15 months on fine lees before preparation for bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCritic Reviews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 – Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Corton-Charlemagne has produced a powerful and concentrated wine.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eTasted January 2013\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 – Wine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eTasted July 2013\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e18.5\/20 – Bettane et Desseauve\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProducer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaison Louis Jadot was founded in Beaune in 1859, with the family's vineyard history extending back to the acquisition of Clos des Ursules in the 1820s.
