(Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy Score 91-95) Four plots, two at each end, closer to the mother rock on the Aloxe side, more iron rich clay at the other end. Claude de Nicolay’s great-great-great aunt sold her farms for vineyards in Corton. Similar full purple in colour, but a much deeper bouquet and typically very smooth and supple in the mouth, before lifting at the finish. Thee is an interesting contrast between the super-ripe fruit and the crispness delivered by the whole bunch approach. Tension at the back, so this should work out very well, I believe. Tasted: October 2020.

Terroir
This cuvee comes from 4 parcels situated mid-slope and spread in homogenous fashion over the whole appellation. The soils are deep and made up in equal parts of limestone and clay, giving the wine lovely balance and great length on the palate. It is a terroir that is very representative of the appellation CORTON.
Tasting
Here, terroir expresses itself strongly but the wine remains elegant, although powerful. A lovely sensation of opulence and fullness, with a very persistent finish and enveloped in a tannic structure that is fine but quite present. Hints of forest floor aromas are found in it, from its earliest youth. With age, it moves towards wilder flavours.
