CORTON

Singing with red fruit intensity, this starts with red currants, lingonberries and cherries along with tangy rhubarb and vanilla bean. Punctuated by raspy acidity and finessed tannins, this gently drifts into a long, distinguished finish. Technically part of Corton Rognet, this monopole has been owned by the family since 1874 and their name was attached to the wine in the 1930s. Rating: 95 Tim Atkin MW, www.timatkin.com (Jan 2025)

Enough wood to merit mentioning is present on the nose of spicy and ripe red and dark currant along with suggestions of earth and the sauvage. I very much like the mouthfeel of the solidly voluminous flavors that also exude a borderline palpable minerality on the compact, backward and built-to-age finale. This will need to add depth with time in bottle so at least some keeping is advised. Drinking range: 2035 - Rating: 91-93 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2025)

Cask sample. Transparent garnet. Light nose and sweet red-cherry fruit. Very Corton, I suppose, and with a certain grand cru density of fruit even if it's not a wow. Good effort! (JR) Drinking range: 2032 - 2048 Rating: 17+ Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2025)

The 2023 Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru has quite a floral bouquet mainly featuring red fruit, cranberry and redcurrant notes. It's not as concentrated as the previous vintage yet it's well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with a hint of crunchy red fruit, a twist of sour lemon and plenty of energy, with an impressive, mineral-driven finish. This endears itself on acquaintance and it should age well in bottle. Drinking range: 2028 - 2055 Rating: 93-95 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Jan 2025)

Medium deep purple. No great depth, An attractive softer strawberry, both on nose and on the palate. Very slightly furry tannins afterwards. Balanced fruit throughout and persistent. Drinking range: 2030 - 2036 Rating: *** Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy  (Nov 2024)
