Neal Martin, December 2020, Score: 90-92
The 2019 Corton Blanc Grand Cru has fine intensity on a nose of crushed rock mixed with yellow flower and light petrolly aromas. The palate is well balanced with a honeyed-textured opening. Moderate acidity here, building nicely in the mouth but not quite "kicking on" toward the finish due to some reduction. It should come around in the end. Drink 2023 - 2030
Region
Corton
The Grands Crus of Corton, a red made from Pinot Noir, and Corton Charlemagne, a white made from Chardonnay are shared between Aloxe-Corton, Ladoix Serrigny and Pernand Vergelesses. The vines for both are planted on the hillsides underneath the plateau of Corton's woodland forest. The majorityof Pinot Noir is planted in the southern and eastern sector where the soil is naturally rich with red iron clay giving additional body and power. Overall, the wines from these areas tend to be fruit forward and fleshy with a balance of round edges and fine concentration.
