2015 Lucien Le Moine Corton Blanc Grand Cru

(racked; from three plots on the east side of the cru): Pear, wild herbs, cinnamon and powdered rock on the vibrant, slightly medicinal nose. A distinctly rocky, powerful style with a strong limestone salinity and penetrating spiciness. Suave, seamless and light on its feet but youthfully imploded today. Best today on the extremely long, vibrant, virtually weightless finish. Saouma noted that this fruit was overripe in 2009 but not in 2015.
