Note di degustazione
The 2017 Corton Grand Cru is floral, gracious and so inviting. White pepper, mint and pine perk up the red cherry and cranberry fruit flavors nicely. In 2017, the Corton is decidedly ethereal and pointed, with terrific energy and tons of class. It will be interesting to see how it develops, as there is a good deal of structure beneath. Even in the short time I was able to follow it in this tasting, the Corton opened up very nicely. This fruit was brought in on September 4, and was the domaine’s first pick.

The 2017 Corton Grand Cru was cropped at 33hl/ha, picked on September 4 and bottled on January 23, 2019. The heavenly bouquet, probably one of the finest I have encountered from this property since its inception in 2009, features brambly red fruit, discreet touches of hawthorn and succinct use of oak. Curiously, there is something Pommard-like about this Corton – a sense of earthiness, perhaps. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and quite noticeable acidity, and lightly spiced with touches of white pepper toward the finish. It does not “kick on” like the domaine’s top cuvées, but it shows considerable persistence and should drink well within a couple of years. This ranks alongside the 2016, in my opinion. 692 cases produced. Tasted at Corney & Barrow’s annual in-bottle tasting in London.
Pre-rinsed glass (which already smelt pretty good!). Tiny pour… Pale garnet. Light, savoury, briary nose. Delicate and not remotely sweet. Quite a contrast to so many Cortons. Firm acidity and quite a tannic charge on the end. Mid weight. Impressive length. 652 cases (JR)
