The 2023 Corton-Renardes Grand Cru has a more austere bouquet compared to other cuvées, leaning more toward black fruit but with fine mineralité from the yellow limestone soils. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly creamy entry and a saline finish, the 30% whole cluster neatly integrated. As you would expect, this is not quite as concentrated as the previous vintage, but it is still a very commendable Corton.

A fine medium deep ruby purple with an exquisitely balanced nose, reproduced on the palate with a strawberry-raspberry mix and a touch of white pepper. Very graceful, medium density, long finish. Stylish Corton Drink from 2029-2037. Tasted Nov 2024.

A relatively bright and high-toned nose reflects plenty of spice notes on the aromas of various red and dark berries, in particular cherry and black raspberry, along with hints of menthol, earth and game. The supple and round larger-bodied flavors flash evident power on the complex, balanced and impressively long finale. This is already excellent with the development potential to match.
