Aromas of roses, peonies, sweet spices and fruit. Precise, fine tannins, elegant red fruit, flowers and minerals on the harmonious, medium-bodied palate. Long and nuanced. Drink from 2027.

Tasted twice, by autumn this was singing, with notes of ripe mulberry scented with peony, earth and liquorice. The originally prominent tannins receded, and the wine picked up density. The grapes from Bouchard's 3.5ha parcel are broken into blocks that are farmed and vinified separately, with some bringing approachable fruit, and others more minerality from the limestone. This superb wine will open in five to seven years and continue improving for a further 25 years.

The 2023 Le Corton Grand Cru has a delightful bouquet, very discrete at first, beautifully defined with lightly spiced red fruit, sous-bois and light peony scents. Quite Gevrey-like. The palate is medium-bodied with a sapid entry, poised and focused, gentle but insistent grip on the finish with a tingle of white pepper on the aftertaste. Excellent.

A pale crimson with vermilion edge. Unforced. Supple graceful red fruit on the nose, with extra depth behind. Nothing too dramatic but the shape of the wine is excellent, very posed, with a fine long balance. This Corton has ‘trained on’, as they say, since I saw it in barrel. Drink from 2033-2043.

More discreet though still easily detectible wood is present on the ripe yet cool aromas of poached plum, black cherry and a whiff of the sauvage. The supple and delicious, if again not particularly concentrated, flavors possess a supple mid-palate that contrasts noticeably with the firm, youthfully austere and beautifully long finale. This isn't a classically styled Corton but I like the balance and it should age well too.
