Tasting

A Grand Cru for Great Mens!
This Corton Blanc is incredible, but it would be a shame to drink in its youth! The deep, complex and very classy nose soars from the glass in a blend of pear, peach, clementine, pastry cream, orange blossoms and a touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, fullbodied and very pure on the attack, with superb complexity, a succulent core, fine acidity and a lovely sense of backend minerality that almost vibrates on the long and perfectly focused finish. A fine wine and tasty for the experts !
