The Story
In a red, the Corton presents itself with a deep purple and dark red velvet appearance. Its broad bouquet expresses toasted accents of roast coffee that are fruity (blueberries, currants, kirsch) evolving toward underbrush, leather, pepper and liquorice. It is powerful and full-flavored on the palate, structured and willingly demonstrating its body and bluntness. At times firm and frank, powerful and full-bodied, this Corton will unquestionably pair well with a duck à l’orange, nice meats in sauce, hare stew, deer medallions and ripened cheeses.
94 Points - James Suckling
A creamy, nicely concentrated and toasty Corton that has layers of buttered toast, flint, white peaches, white grapefruit and hazelnuts. Full-bodied and textural, slowly evolving to a long, flinty finish. Drink or hold.
