The 2019 Corton-Pougets Grand Cru unwinds in the glass with scents of spices plums, wild berries, sweet soil tones, confit citrus and burning embers. Medium to full-bodied, bright and lively, with a concentrated core of fruit, fine tannins and a mineral finish, this is a very elegant rendition of this cuvée, and it's built to evolve gracefully in the cellar.
A subtle but easily perceptible application of wood is present on the elegant and airy aromas of both red and dark currant that display hints of earth and the sauvage. The succulent yet punchy larger-scaled flavors exude a bead of minerality on the impressively long, complex and beautifully well-balanced finale. Excellent.
Higher on the slope. Ripe grapes here all right, but with good power. More crimson than purple. Starts as if it is going to be muscular, then develops a real liveliness behind, darker fruit, and certainly ripe, lower acidity. This will work though, but it is not for exceptionally long keeping
