Note di degustazione
The 2017 Les Corton Grand Cru shows a little aging on the rim. The nose is open and expressive, presenting brambly red fruit, desiccated orange peel and rose petal, all quite charming. The palate has a slightly bitter opening, rather rustic for a Grand Cru. Modest in weight, open-knit and very spicy, yet just a tad short on the finish. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.

The 2017 Le Corton Grand Cru is showing very well, and I evidently underestimated it when I tasted it earlier this year. Opening in the glass with aromas of sweet berries, cloves, smoked meats and coniferous forest floor, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a textural and enveloping attack, a sapid core of fruit and a savory finish. Today, the wine's tannins are already supple and melting.
Pure redcurrant and raspberry fruit that stands up well to the oak spice. Dry, fragrant finish. Not exactly wow-ing, but it does have good concentration and intensity – and quite high alcohol on the finish. (RH)
