Note di degustazione
The 2018 Corton-Renardes Grand Cru has an open, generous, lively and quite seductive nose, with red cherries, crushed strawberry and subtle marmalade scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy, bold tannins that frame the layered red fruit commingling with orange rind, white pepper and marmalade. There is a slight graininess to the texture that I personally like. The more I am acquainted with this Corton, the more I warm to its personality with its almost Sauternes-like texture. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.

The 2018 Corton-Renardes Grand Cru showed a slight reduction on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied, quite firm and masculine, with crisp tannins and dried blood and black pepper toward the finish. Grippy and quite savory at the moment, this is a robust Corton-Renardes that will require bottle age to shave its corners. A bit "rough" and needs to manifest more refinement.
The 2018 Corton-Renardes Grand Cru contains 40% whole cluster and shows more delineation than the Charmes-Chambertin on the nose, touches of marmalade and orange peel complementing the red berry fruit. The medium-bodied palate offers succulent, ripe red fruit. Quite spicy toward the finish, with clove and black pepper notes lingering on the aftertaste. This might lack a little finesse at the moment, but it should age well.
