Tasting Notes

Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Corton Grand Cru Clos du Roi from de Montille offers what you might call a noble bouquet befitting a grand cru with a complex, quite captivating mélange of dark berry fruit, sous bois and tea leaves. The palate is medium-bodied with some stem addition that defines the first half. But it works well: fresh and lively, sufficient fruit with a harmonious and quite persistent finish. Certainly this was one of the best wines that was shown at this blind tasting from the domaine. Tasted September 2017. Drink Date 2018 - 2032

Bright blueish crimson. Very light nose. Sweet and charming on the palate though arguably not exactly grand cru intensity. Much fruitier and juicier than the hailed Rugiens.
