Note di degustazione
The 2018 Corton La Vigne en Saint Grand Cru certainly has more complexity and nuance on the nose: brambly red fruit, forest floor, hints of black truffle shavings and freshly-rolled tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, perfectly-judged acidity, one of the few poised Cortons in this vintage with a persistent fresh and engaging finish. Given the summer that year, this Corton is a great success. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.

The 2018 Corton Grand Cru La Vigne Au Saint has also turned out very well, revealing aromas of cassis, wild berries, rich soil tones and grilled squab. Medium to full-bodied, it's finer boned and more elegant than the muscular Les Grèves, with powdery structuring tannins and lively acids largely concealed in its concentrated core of fruit.
The 2018 Corton La Vigne Au Saint Grand Cru contains the highest amount of whole bunch that Croix has used, at 60%. It has a vibrant, earthy-undergrowth bouquet with damp moss scents and dewy meadow aromas percolating through the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. Very fine and, to quote David Croix himself, a Corton for people who don’t like Corton. Very silky and quite floral on the finish. This is just divine.
