Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru 2007A highly complex nose that is classic Clos du Roi with its earthy and intensely animale character to the nuanced and layered red, blue and violet aromas that complement well the textured and moderately concentrated medium weight flavors in the context of the vintage, all wrapped in a driving finish that possesses excellent length. This is certainly attractive as it's notably more forward than usual but overall, it's pretty rather than profound.

Dry to taste

The 2016 Canon makes it a double slam-dunk for head winemaker Nicolas Audebert and his team

all wrapped in a sneaky long and youthfully austere finale

4% Cabernet Franc and 39

I do like the bouquet here: very pure and precise

conveying the warmth of that summer but not impeding upon the terroir expression

the power of the red wine spring here fully and is no longer masked by any parade

Beautiful cocktail of fruits (wild berries) and spices

Very persistent

austere and hugely long finish

Best served at 12 – 14°C

Inky bluish purple
