Corton Grand Cru 2020
-
With its deep purple hue, our Corton Grand Cru 2020 is a Pinot Noir that is fresh, floral and bursting with energy. The intense nose reveals aromas of violet, blackcurrant, redcurrant, and clove. The palate is ample, rich, and delicate. The velvety tannins are perfectly integrated. While delectable today, this Grand Cru is certainly made for aging and best left to the cellar for a few years, if you are patient enough to wait!
