Tasting notes
The 2014 Corton-Renardes Grand Cru has a more fragrant bouquet than the Corton Bressandes: raspberry, wild hedgerow and damp moss-like scents, not herbaceous per se, rather a Corton of the earth than the air. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, ripe tannins, plenty of pure red berry and mineral notes with a harmonious, sensual finish. This is another wonderful wine in the making, though it will require 3-4 years in bottle.

Healthy medium red. Medicinal red cherry, smoke and minerals on the nose. Deep red fruit flavors offer lovely precision and verve. Fat, fresh and light on its feet. The juicy finish features firm tannins but no dryness. At once riper and classier than the Bressandes, not to mention much more accessible today.
