    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Very different to the more taciturn Rugiens, this is out-going and immediately alluring. There is a creaminess and softness to the tannins. They do not lack power but are so polished and serve to complement the delicate red and black cherry fruit. Floral notes of cherry blossom and hints of kirsch seduce you even more. Rich but enough freshness to prolong the finish and provide balance. Long and haunting. A top notch Corton. Fermented with two thirds whole bunches and aged in 50% new oak.

    Neal Martin,
    Vinous
    The 2017 Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru has a complex nose of dark berry fruit mixed with touches of meat juice and spicebox, slightly musky, with neatly integrated oak. The poised palate offers grainy tannins, crisp and crunchy red berry fruit laced with orange peel, and gentle grip toward a finely proportioned finish that lingers beautifully. Bon vin. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.
