Bouchard Père & FilsLe Corton Grand Cru 2015
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.

Here the wood treatment is a bit more discreet though it's still not subtle on the exceptionally cool and fresh but ripe nose that offers up plenty of sauvage and earth hints that suffuse the black cherry and lilac scents. The dense, bold and overtly muscular and powerful big-bodied flavors possess an abundance of sappy extract that coats the palate and buffers the extremely firm tannic spine on the immensely persistent finish that is less austere than it usually is. This is breathtakingly good and despite my extended drinking window, it should be approachable after only 7 to 8 years.
