The 2019 Corton Grand Cru, which is seen as a transitional vintage by de Villaine, is the usual blend of three parcels and matured entirely in new oak. It was picked on September 19 in tandem with the Grands Echézeaux, yielding 15hl/ha. The perfumed bouquet offers vibrant red berry fruit infused with potpourri and incense, all displaying wonderful delineation; touches of orange pith develop with time. The palate is medium-bodied and harmonious, with strict tannins, a mélange of red and black fruit and a potent saline tincture toward the refined finish. Quite open and generous. It should drink after two or three years in bottle.

The 2019 Corton Grand Cru was picked at just 15hL/ha on 19 of September. Now here we have a lovely bouquet with brambly red fruit, redcurrant and cranberry, light rose petal notes and just a touch of bergamot. The palate is medium-bodied with a vivacious opening, perfectly judged acidity, nothing weighty or particularly concentrated. Yet, there is a sense of “flow” to this Corton with Morello cherry lingering on the finish. Its lightness of touch is quite remarkable for such a warm growing season. 367 cases produced. Tasted at Corney & Barrow’s annual in bottle tasting in London.
