Ripe, jammy aromas introduce this opulent, concentrated red. Black cherry and cassis are the main themes, with dark chocolate and tobacco lurking in the background. The sweet fruit and tannins duke it out on the finish. Best from 2008 through 2022. 75 cases imported.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Corton Select to Add

Part of the Les Marechaudes vineyard is grand cru Corton, while the rest is simply premier cru—go figure. It just means terroir. This wine, from the grand cru portion, is dense and tannic, typical of the wine and the vineyard. There is great juicy fruit under the tannins. An ager.
