From the Grand Cru "Pougets" vineyard, this 1998 Corton Pougets is a complex wine with a penetrating bright red color, open floral and dark fruit nose and abundant prune, fig and a hint of truffle flavors balanced by generous soft tannins; this wine emphasizes style and grace over power and is a good value for Burgundy Grand Cru red wines; serve with meat stews including the classic Burgundian Coq au Vin "Chicken in Red Wine" and exotic white meats; established in 1859, Louis Jadot is a large and progressive Burgundy merchant-producer with a wide range of high quality wines.
