Tasting Notes
Boillot’s Corton is a highlight of the range at this classy address. It’s a wine of incredible intensity, power and length. It’s tightly coiled now – with layers of lemon and lime ready to burst with time in bottle. Acidity drives through the palate, complemented by a wave of chalky minerality that washes over the fruit, utterly mouth-watering and moreish. Stunning.

Purchased grapes, from all three communes of the appellation. Mid lemon yellow colour, a tight nose, harder to assess because served after the Montrachet. Very intense, backward, quite ripe, and the necessary stones do appear in due course, along with the weighty yellow fruit.
