Product details

Made up from Corton-Renardes (63%) and a mix of 24 other sectors on the Corton hill, this is a very fine Corton Grand Cru. Charlotte Dumay gave vineyards to the Hospices in 1534, and this is traditionally one of the Hospice's longest living cuvées. Lacks a little in concentration but makes up for this with freshness and elegance. Cool in the mouth, with a blueberry and dusky, dark, fruit character on both the nose and palate. Corton can often be rugged but this is smooth and refined. A very good 2014. Drinking window: 2022-2029. Score - 93. (Andy Howard, MW, decanter.com, Nov. 9, 2020)
