Winemaker Notes
The 2003 Louis Jadot Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru (Domaine des Héritiers) is a powerful and opulent expression of the vintage, noted for its "massive" concentration that occasionally draws comparisons to the structure of a red wine. According to winemaker Jacques Lardière, the 2003 was vinified using a higher percentage of new oak—up to 100% for the first several months—to intentionally oxidize unstable material early on, a technique used to maintain stability and avoid overly exotic flavors in the searing heat of that year.
