Corton Clos du Roi, Grand Cru, 2018

Muscled, brooding Corton. Densely-packed black fruits, chocolate-covered cherries, herbs and minerals locked in by gripping tannins. Punchy fresh flavours that saturate the palate. 65-year-old vines planted on iron rich clay and limestone soils. Fermented with two thirds whole bunches and aged in 50% new oak.
