A cool and ultra-pure nose features notes of both red and dark cherry, earth, spice and plenty of earth character that is also reflected by the sleek and relatively refined middle weight flavors that evidence a firm muscularity, all wrapped in a moderately structured, youthfully austere and well-balanced finale. This is very Corton in basic disposition but like the 2015, it's not particularly rustic and should age well for 15+ years.

The 2014 Corton Grand Cru takes a while to coalesce on the nose with red berry, mulberry and a sprig of heather all nicely defined. There is a touch of seaweed here. The palate is medium-bodied, quite saline on the entry with a grainy texture, good backbone and a sense of symmetry. There is a hint of bitter cherry enlivening the finish that is masculine and "correct." 'Tis a Corton not predisposed to "mucking around" and as such, it will demand 3-4 years in the cellar.
