Bouchard Père & FilsLe Corton Grand Cru 2016
About this product
With 3.60 hectares at 280 meters, at the top of the slope and just below the woods, Bouchard is easily the largest owner of Le Corton (11.67ha in total) producing a wine that is 'cooler' and at the more elegant end of the Corton spectrum. It's also a well-priced Grand Cru and while Corton, in general, needs time to show it's best, this can be decanted and approached in its youth.

Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

95 points Burghound
Very, very generous wood treatment is sufficiently toasty to presently dominate the otherwise layered nose of dark cherry, raspberry, earth and sauvage-inflected aromas. There is superb concentration, power and richness to the big-bodied flavors that possess excellent reserves of dry extract that helps to buffer the exceptionally firm tannic spine shaping the superbly long mineral-driven finish. This is at once impressive as hell but it's also very woody and while the underlying material appears to be more than sufficient to eventually integrate the oak, it will require time for this to happen.
