All three of the village wines produced in Cote de Beaune are competent examples of their appellations. The 1990 Aloxe Corton is spicy and rich, with significant tannins in the finish. Less impressive than the Pommard and Volnay, it remains a pleasant example from this appellation. Given the number of wines produced by Louis Jadot in 1990, it is hard to believe anyone has ever been more successful with so many different appellations. Moreover, what is so admirable about the Jadot red burgundies is that each of the wines is different. Jadot enjoyed remarkable success in the Cote de Beaune. Given the fact that these wines sell at lower prices than Jadot's offerings from the Cote de Nuits, consumers have an opportunity to purchase some stunning red burgundies from a great vintage at exceptionally fair prices. Furthermore, as I indicated in issue 83, all of Jadot's 1990s were bottled without filtration. Given the appalling weakness of the American dollar, the prices charged for these wines are to be applauded. Importer: Kobrand, Inc., New York, NY.
