Product Description
RP 94+"The 2015 Corton Grand Cru is developing brilliantly, showing even more depth and dimension than it did a few years ago. It unwinds in the glass with notes of wild berries and plums mingled with licorice, subtle spices and petals. Full-bodied, rich and layered, with lively acids and ripe, powdery tannins, it's muscular and concentrated, with a seamless, enveloping profile and a long, expansive finish. This is still some years from maturity, and it is built to be very long lived." William Kelley for Robert Parker Mar 2022
"A ripe but reasonably fresh array mixes both red currant and dark berry aromas that are liberally laced with notes of various floral, sauvage and earth nuances. There is first-rate volume and power to the serious, intense and overtly muscular big-bodied flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the robust, moderately rustic and impressively long finish. To my way of viewing the progression made by this wine since the first vintage under the Domaine's auspices in 2009, this is beginning to resemble a true Corton. I would expect that as the different system of viticulture and replanting to higher quality vines begins to have their inevitable effects that this will continue to improve. Note that while this is certainly a big and structured wine, it's not so youthfully backward that it won't be approachable relatively young, at least in the context of what is typical for a classic Corton."
