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.
