(30% vendange entier ): Medium red. Musky but shy aromas of redcurrant, underbrush and earth. Supple, sweet and pliant, offering good body and soil character energized by salty minerality. The rising finish features firm, ripe tannins, noteworthy mineral energy and excellent silky persistence.

The 2014 Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru has a rather conservative, straightlaced bouquet, subtle tertiary notes keeping a tab on the red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a pleasant juiciness on the entry. There is still a bit of oak to be absorbed but there is fine matière on the finish that lingers nicely in the mouth. It is a wine that needs to shake of its infant shackles, spread its wings a bit.
