Tasting notes
The 2013 Corton Grand Cru Cuvée de Bourdon has the most reticent nose at the moment, sultry and introspective. Likewise, the palate is obstinate and broody, quite “rigid” in the mouth with a dense, tightly wound, chalky finish. This is just lacking a little charm at the moment, but hopefully it will flesh out by the time of bottling.

From Corton Paulands. Very low yields. Amazing colour! Blackish crimson. Deep flavoured and rich. Really intense! Sweet start and ripe tannins – almost opulent though still bone dry on the end. Worth waiting patiently while this takes on more flesh. For the moment it’s austere on the finish. (JR)
