Description

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 flavours that coat the palate with dry extract on the robust, moderately rustic, and impressively long finish. From 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.
