Unwinding in the glass with aromas of sweet dark berries, cassis and spices, the 2020 Corton Grand Cru is medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with terrific depth at the core, chalky tannins and lively acids. It will demand a bit of patience, but it will be worth the wait.

The 2019 Corton Grand Cru has also turned out very well, exhibiting aromas of red berries, spices, forest floor and orange oil. Full-bodied, layered and perfumed, with fine concentration, powdery tannins and lively acids, it's elegantly muscular in profile, concluding with a long, sapid finish. As I've written before, this comes from Les Meix and Les Chaumes, lieux-dits below Pougets and just above the village of Aloxe-Corton.

Notes of cassis, black truffle and loamy soil introduce the 2018 Corton Grand Cru, a full-bodied, rich and layered wine that's youthfully chewy and structured. As readers will remember, this comes from Les Meix and Les Chaumes, lieux-dits below Pougets and just above the village of Aloxe, and it is always the more muscular of Rapet's two grand cru reds.

The 2017 Corton Grand Cru unfurls in the glass with aromas of cassis, wild berries, rich forest floor and wood smoke. On the palate, it's full-bodied, dense and powerful, with chewy structuring tannins, impressive depth at the core and a long, expansive finish. This should be long-lived, and it's the cuvée Rapet matured in barrel the longest. From Les Meix and Les Chaumes, lieux-dits below Pougets and just above the village of Aloxe, this is always the more muscular of Rapet's two grand cru reds.

The Corton displays a medium-to-dark ruby color, cassis and blackberry aromas as well as a thick, chewy, ripe, and medium-to-full-bodied personality. Sweet cherries, minerals, stones, and toasty oak flavors are ensconced in this wine's foursquare and tannic structure. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2007.
