Corton, Les Combes, Grand Cru, 2023
This is layered and long and finely pitched, with a beautiful combination of sweet fruit and cool stoniness that sits at the heart of the wine. Grand Cru not in scale, but in its haunting persistence and high-pitched intensity. Impossible not to love the grace and flow of this. A parcel that sits close to Chapitre, facing south yet cooled by the Pernand combe. Relatively deep clay soils invariably produce a Corton of approachability and a certain plumpness.?
critic reviews
The 2023 Corton Les Combes Grand Cru is often one of the domaine's best cuvées and there is no difference this year. It was blessed with a superb mineral-laden bouquet with captivating vivacity and terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied, pure and poised with finely knit tannins and an elegant, persistent finish. This ranks alongside the impressive 2022.
