Soft wood and menthol influences are present on the nose of poached plum, the sauvage and an abundance of floral elements. There is excellent volume and solid concentration if not nearly the same refinement to the bigger-bodied and more powerful flavours that conclude in a sappy, palate coating and...

First picked, and the first bottled, at the very end of September. It was taken out of wood before the tannins began to dry the wine. A fine mid purple with lighter rim. This is the least obviously rich of the 2023 reds. Quite a refined red fruit nose, back to more classical strawberries, with a flo...

Picked on 7th September, not yet in bottle. A central dark purple with more of a ruby rim. Quite a different bouquet because the fruit has a wilder side, wood strawberries, blueberries, than the usual berry fruits. Claude loves this wine! The stems give their little brambly note as well. A touch of...

The 2022 Corton Le Rognet et Corton Grand Cru is pure and seamless, bursting with aromas of cherries, red berries and plums mingled with raw cocoa and spices. Medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, its textural attack segues into a fleshy core framed by sweet tannins that assert themselves on the...

A rich imperial purple with a classy nose, plump red fruit but fine as well. Swells across the palate, growing in comparison to the straight Corton from Les Combes, the fruit absolutely covering the framework which definitely exists. Just a touch of ripe fruit to finish. Very good. 92-94 Jasper Morr...

A brooding and decidedly reluctant nose features a plethora of Corton-like elements including wild red berries, underbrush, earth and a whiff of the sauvage. The medium weight flavours are at once rich yet reasonably precise and more mineral-driven before culminating in a muscular and solidly comple...

The 2021 Corton Les Grandes Lolières Grand Cru, matured in two-thirds new oak, has a lovely, open-knit and expressive bouquet with fragrant red berry fruit, wild hedgrerow and rose petal scents - very seductive and more Côte de Nuits in style. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. Fresh...

Another strong performance from Guillemot is the 2021 Corton Le Rogent et Corton Grand Cru, a medium to full-bodied, rich and textural wine for the vintage, evocative of cherries, plums, red berries, orange rind and cloves. Sadly, only one barrel was produced. 92 William Kelley, Wine Advocate.Drinki...

The 2021 Corton Clos-du-Roi Grand Cru, from the top part of Corton towards the woods, has a kirsch, mint and orange rind scented bouquet. Lots of plummy scents emerge with time, and even a touch of gaminess turns into more pressed rose scents. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, white p...

Heady deep purple. There is a little reduction which is currently slightly interfering with the purity of the fruit. Plums in the fruit profile. Late malolactic here may explain the backwardness. Slightly firm finish as a result but here I think the dark fruit does fill out the palate rather more. 9...

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 vibra...

Produced from a 1.45 hectare holding in Bressandes, this gives a wine with bright, high-toned cherry fruit and pleasant floral aromas. The wine is less massive than the Clos du Roi, but it is more expressive aromatically. On the palate, it is silky and fresh, yet still tannic and substantial. The ov...

The 2021 Corton Cuvée du Bourdon is perfumed and floral, quite Vosne-like, with peony and persimmon tincturing the vibrant red berry fruit. Airy in style. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, sappy and just a little New World-like in style thanks to its joie-de-vivre and breeziness. Ponso...

The 2021 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru has a generous bouquet with high-toned red cherries and crushed strawberry fruit, like its fellow Corton, evincing joie-de-vivre. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, more flesh and density here with lip-smacking sapidity in the short but effectiv...

Cool and airy aromas of high-toned red berry fruit enjoys additional breadth in the form of plum, earth and a touch of spice. There is impressive concentration and an abundance of sappy dry extract that coats the palate of the big-bodied flavours as well as buffers the firm tannic spine supporting t...
