Rare Burgundy Grand Cru – Now Available In Bond from Octavian
Experience the elegance and power of Domaine De La Romanée-Conti Corton Grand Cru 2016, a rare and highly sought-after wine from one of Burgundy's most prestigious producers. Now available in its Original Wooden Case (OWC) as a case of 3x75cl In Bond, this exceptional wine has been expertly cellared since En Primeur release at Octavian.
Crafted from three esteemed vineyards – Clos du Roi, Bressandes, and Renardes – and boasting a low yield of just 22 hl/ha, the 2016 Corton Grand Cru is a powerful yet poised expression of the Corton hill terroir. Only 1.74 hectares were in production, making this an extremely limited release.
Tasting Notes: Corton Grand Cru 2016 from Domaine De La Romanée-Conti
The nose opens with restrained aromas of red and dark currant, mingling with layers of spice, earth, floral tones, and a sauvage character that speaks of the vineyard’s wild intensity. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, offering superb texture, minerality, and depth. There’s a sense of understated power and purity, balanced by an impressively long, fanning finish.

| Winery | 2016 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; yields of 22 hl/ha). Ripe, fresh and restrained red and dark currant aromas and various spice elements combine with intensely floral, earthy and sauvage-inflected nuances. I very much like the texture of the delicious medium-bodied flavours that possess good power and plenty of minerality that deliver excellent depth and length on the balanced finish that really fans out as it sits on the palate. While there is a mild hint of backend warmth, this could eventually be the best Corton the domain has produced. 94 points Allen Meadows, Burghound /2031+ |
