The 2017 Corton Grand Cru is performing beautifully from bottle, bursting from the glass with a captivating bouquet of peonies, rose hips, sweet red berries, orange rind, spices and subtle soil tones. On the palate, the wine medium to full-bodied, supple and velvety, with succulent acids, good concentration and a long, exquisitely perfumed finish. Indeed, it's only by comparison with the domaine's utterly suave wines from Vosne-Romanée later in the tasting that this Corton's tannins seem comparatively coarse-grained. Picked on September 4th, it is showing appreciably better than it did when I tasted it from tank before bottling last year.

Pre-rinsed glass (which already smelt pretty good!). Tiny pour… Pale garnet. Light, savoury, briary nose. Delicate and not remotely sweet. Quite a contrast to so many Cortons. Firm acidity and quite a tannic charge on the end. Mid weight. Impressive length. 652 cases (JR)

Picked 4th September. Just bottled, to be released next year. Fine mid youthful purple, offering a clean and pure nose, though nothing like the rumbustious character of the 2016. Lively fruit with a hint of orange zest. Sweetly perfumed, fuller bodied than the 2014, a little more velvet but in the same line. Beautiful fruit and mineral acid balance, and indeed persistence. Tasted Jul 2019.
