2015 | Domaine de la Romanee Conti | Corton

Good medium red. Captivating soil-driven scents of raspberry, flowers and smoky minerality. Not a particularly sweet or thick wine in the context of the vintage but juicy, precise and energetic, with its musky red fruit and earth flavors lifted by spices. Finishes savory and long, with a firm tannic spine. Already conveying strong personality.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2015 Corton Grand Cru is developing brilliantly, showing even more depth and dimension than it did a few years ago. It unwinds in the glass with notes of wild berries and plums mingled with licorice, subtle spices and petals. Full-bodied, rich and layered, with lively acids and ripe, powdery tannins, it's muscular and concentrated, with a seamless, enveloping profile and a long, expansive finish. This is still some years from maturity, and it is built to be very long lived.
  

• Decanter: The domaine believes this to be its best Corton since the inaugural 2009. It's a bright ruby colour with a nose of ripe but not jammy red fruits and a hint of oak. The palate is not overly dense, but carries a juicy, crystalline freshness, charming with its sweet cherry and raspberry fruit underpinned by finely woven tannins. Good length with a clean mineral finish.

Producer Information

Two of the Domaine's seven Grand Cru vineyards - La Romanée-Conti and La Tache - are monopoles (appellations entirely owned by the Domaine) and unarguably the greatest vineyards in Burgundy.
