2020 Corton Cuvee Bourdon
Buying options
Tasting notes
Seventy percent from Les Paulands and 30% from Clos du Roi, the 2020 Corton has quite an intense black cherry and blueberry scented bouquet with just a hint of violet in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with an effervescent, orange zest infused entry, a superb line of acidity on the vibrant finish. This is very impressive, stylish with charm.

The 2020 Corton Grand Cru Cuvée du Bourdon offers up aromas of cherries and raspberries mingled with sweet spices, cinnamon and orange oil. Full-bodied, rich and layered, it's seamless and concentrated, with powdery tannins, lively acids and a long, resonant finish.
