Corton Clos du Roy Grand Cru 2019 Domaine Antonin Guyon

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (93)

The 2019 Corton Clos du Roy Grand Cru is excellent, offering up aromas of sweet berry fruit, licorice, warm spices, rose petals and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, lively and concentrated, it's deep but fine-boned, with a more linear, tightly wound profile than the ampler, broader Bressandes. With time, however, I believe it will emerge as Guyon's finest 2019.

A slightly riper and not quite as fresh nose reflects a plenitude of spice elements on the roasted dark berry fruit and sauvage scents. There is again excellent volume to the vigorous and muscular big-bodied flavors that are also shaped by a firm tannic spine on the austere, serious and sneaky long finish. I suspect that the energy of the palate will eventually help the nose will pick up freshness with age though that of course remains to be seen.
