justerini & brooks tasting note

A little reduced and reserved initially, as it habitually is, but not far from the brooding surface is a wine bursting with pure, unbridled character - lovely wild berry and hedgerow fruit, round and expansive without being too big; juicy blood orange notes complementing the finish. A 0.47 ha parcel of 35 year old vines planted in the Les Combes lieu dit - a south west facing site planted on red clay soils.

critic reviews

91-93/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2020 Corton Les Combes Grand Cru has a very open-knit and transparent bouquet with red cherries, wet limestone and light sea spray scents. The palate is well balanced with a pleasant rondeur on the entry. Maybe a little higher in pH than its peers, smooth and pliant for a Corton, this fans out gently and reassuringly on the finish. Despite its Grand Cru status, this should be pleasurable in its youth.
