The 2016 Corton Grand Cru offers up a lovely nose of ripe berry fruit, rose petals, spices and dark chocolate. On the palate, it's full-bodied, broad and supple, with velvety tannins, good concentration and bright acids, concluding with a fragrant finish. This is one of the definite successes in the range.

The 2012 Corton Grand Cru has quite a lively bouquet, although it does not have the panache of the Clos des Feves and seems a little rustic and perhaps curmudgeonly by comparison. The palate is very well-balanced with fine tannins, perhaps showing more class than the nose suggests, although the finish is just a touch foursquare at the moment. Drink 2016-2026.
