RATINGS

98James Suckling

A truly amazing Corton, thanks to the laser beam of sour-cherry aroma that shoots right through this sleek and vibrant wine. Great concentration, but remains light on its feet.

95Wine Spectator

This is plump and juicy, featuring black cherry, plum, tomato leaf and sweet spice flavors. There are firm tannins underneath and this is long, with echoes oak spice in the aftertaste.

93-95The Wine Advocate

...notes of cassis, wild berries, warm spices, orange rind, rose petals, espresso roast and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's vibrant and lively, marrying notable concentration with fine-boned structure. Long and mineral, it's more ethereal than its rich, muscular 2018 counterpart.

93-95Vinous / IWC

...earthy/woodland aromas...palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and harmonious on the entry. The fine, lightly spiced finish reveals clove and touches of graphite.

16Jancis Robinson

A little simple and sweet with lots of acid and tannin. Dry, light finish. Drying finish.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
