Corton Grand cru Clos des Cortons 2012

- 95 points -

Typically of Corton, this is quite tannic in current, youthful state. It’s also quit marked by new oak. But this monopole vineyard wine has a lot of potential, with fresh acidity, firm, focused fruit flavours, good length and a note of dried herbs. Very true to its terroir, and comparatively reasonably priced, too.
