The 2013 Corton Renardes Grand Cru has a straight-laced bouquet with a touch of rose petal – not unlike a Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze. The tannin is fresh, structured, quite masculine with a precise, saline finish that is sophisticated and long. This is keeping everything under wraps for when it is in bottle, but I suspect it will turn into a fine Corton even if it does seem to miss a little flair.
