Tasting notes
Its complexity comes from its tannic roughness and its balance. Very original centered on a prominent musculature,a discreet acidity and an aromatic expression which puts the fresh fruits in the background.No morello cherries or wild strawberries in Corton, but on the other hand this feeling of biting into a wild blackberry which has just reached maturity, combining it with scents of white pepper, peony and a hint of cinnamon. Corton is a grand seigneur and Clos du Roi its most vibrant representative on the side of restrained power because it lacks the savagery of neighbouring Renardes or the softer texture of Bressandes below it.
