Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. Deep in color, the Corton Grèves Grand Cru ’11 from David Croix has a compact, slightly pinched bouquet that is nicely defined, though it does not really flow as it should. The palate is balanced but simple: light tannins and crisp acidity, but missing weight and persistence on the no-frills finish. I suspect, given the pedigree of David’s other ‘11s, that this may be amid an awkward phase and I will seek to retaste it.
