Tasting Notes
Appearance:
This Grand Cru unfurls in the glass with a deep, vivid ruby colour, reflecting both concentration and purity of fruit. Vibrant, jewel-like tones promise depth and intensity, enchanting from the very first glance.
Nose:
A mesmerising bouquet introduces classic aromas of wild red berries-blackcurrant, wild strawberry, and cherry-interwoven with elegant notes of violet, rose petal, and forest floor. Subtle hints of sweet spice, cedar, and a delicate waft of earthy minerality further enrich the aromatic complexity, evolving beautifully with time in the glass.
Palate:
On the palate, Corton Greves Grand Cru is opulent yet refined, seamlessly balancing richness with freshness. Silky layers of ripe raspberry, black cherry, and redcurrant unfold, framed by hallmark mineral undertones and a sophisticated oak profile. Fine-grained tannins provide structure and poise, while gentle accents of cinnamon, clove and cocoa nib reveal themselves in waves. The palate is multi-layered, elegant, and poised, delivering both intensity and finesse in equal measure.
Finish:
The wine's majestic finish is long and persistent, echoing red fruit purity alongside subtle floral and earthy notes. A gentle touch of spice lingers, gracefully tapering off with remarkable freshness and an enduring sense of harmony-a fitting finale for a Grand Cru of such distinction.
