LUis Jadot, Domaine des Heritiers. corton-charlemagne 2018
The 2018 Louis Jadot Domaine des Hèritiers Louis Jadot Corton-Charlemagne is fully-layered and aristocratic. TASTING NOTES: This is a complete Burgundy with aroma and flavors of ripe fruit and oak. Pair it with lobster in a savory wine reduction, cream sauce
This powerful and mineral wine has intense fruit, flower, pepper and cinnamon aromas and flavors. It is essential to age this wine in the bottle, 10 to 20 years will bring out the best in its development. Pair with haute cuisine, especially fish, shellfish and white meats in cream sauces.
A full, very dense white that is tightly structured and layered. Plenty of cooked apples, lemons and white pineapple with stone and mineral undertones. Compact and tight. Solid and powerful. Give it three to four years to open, but already fantastic.
Notes of fresh pear, waxy citrus rind, white flowers, toasted almonds and crushed chalk preface the 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot), a full-bodied, tensile and structured wine that’s racy, phenolic and youthfully introverted, concluding with a mineral finish. Once again, this is built for the cellar and will be well worth seeking out.

Double Eagle 2018
An homage to a stellar vintage, our 2018 Double Eagle Red is a classic Bordeaux blend culled from premier valley-floor vineyards in Oakville and St Helena. It opens with intense aromatics of bramble berry and currant, nuanced by notes of vanilla and oak spice from 20 months in French oak barrels. The round, voluptuous palate echoes the nose with layers of saturated dark fruit, focused by a fine tannin tension that persists on the long, elegant finish.
Blend: 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot
Agricola Punica Barrua Isola de Nuraghi.

Dark-berry, lavender and black-tea aromas follow through to a full body, round and velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. A juicy and deep wine. Very pretty and distinctive. Drink or hold
