Tasting notes
A rush of fruit and tannin explode across the palate in the 2014 Corton-Renardes. The most classically structured and overtly powerful of the Grand Crus, the Corton-Renardes will take a decade or so to come around, but it will always remain somewhat tense and piercing. Even so, the Corton-Renardes is simply magical in this vintage.

The 2014 Corton Renardes Grand Cru already has an intriguing bouquet that is forming in barrel, a little more open at the moment with dark berry fruit, a touch of Earl Grey and bay leaf. It is nicely defined, somehow effortless. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, nice and saline in the mouth, very harmonious and silky smooth, so much so that you might think this was Côtes de Nuits. Lovely.
