    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    One of, if not THE, great vineyards of Corton's hill, aged in 30% percent new oak and half of it was fermented with whole bunches, giving great depth, structure and complexity. This may be one of the more brooding wines of the cellar but its stellar potential is clear, rich, intense svelte but muscle-bound, sweet asian spices, currant, bilberry, black cherry and bramble fruit with hints of kirsch and savoury touches of mineral, powerful but sweet as a nut on the huge finish.

    Antonio Galloni,
    Vinous
    The 2009 Corton Clos du Roi is quite deep and intense. It shows terrific intensity in its fruit, along with plenty of structure to support aging. I especially like the way richness of the fruit carries through to the finish. This virile, imposing Burgundy needs a few years in bottle to settle down. The Corton Clos du Roi was made with 100% whole clusters and was aged in 50% new oak, the highest percentage the estate uses.
