2015 Corton: (from parcels measuring .57 ha in Clos du Roi, 1.2 ha in Bressandes and .5 ha in Renardes, though only 1.74 ha of this are currently in production). A ripe but reasonably fresh array mixes red currant and dark berry aromas 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 view, the progression made by this wine since the first vintage under Domaine’s auspices in 2009 is beginning to resemble a true Corton. I would expect that as the different viticulture systems and replanting to higher quality vines begin to have their inevitable effects, this will continue to improve. While this is certainly a big and structured wine, it’s not so youthfully backwards that it won’t be approachable relatively young, at least in the context of what is typical for a classic Corton.
