| | | One of the top two wines from our Bouchard tasting two weeks ago, which included several other Grand Cru with age. The 2016 Le Corton was simply delicious and provided a great price-to-deliciousness ratio ($160 for a Grand Cru with age – amazing!).
The only red Grand Cru in the Cote de Beaune, Corton is also the only Grand Cru in the Cote d’Or to be divided into ‘sub-climat’. Bouchard owns about 60% of the climat of Le Corton, a unique feature of which is that it can be planted with either Pinot Noir or Chardonnay. The 2016 is in its prime drinking window and should last another 10+ years. It was truly a joy to be able to sample this wine. |
| | | "Very, very generous wood treatment is sufficiently toasty to presently dominate the otherwise layered nose of dark cherry, raspberry, earth and sauvage-inflected aromas. There is superb concentration, power and richness to the big-bodied flavors that possess excellent reserves of dry extract that helps to buffer the exceptionally firm tannic spine shaping the superbly long mineral-driven finish. This is at once impressive as hell but it's also very woody and while the underlying material appears to be more than sufficient to eventually integrate the oak, it will require time for this to happen." 93-95 Allen Meadows, Burghound.com |
