2019 Corton Les Combes

The 2019 Corton Les Combes Grand Cru comes from a 0.5-hectare parcel located on the southern face of the hill. This has one of the more reduced aromatics of the range, as it had been racked the previous week, plus the temperature had dropped in the winery in the days preceding my visit. The palate is succulent on the entry, featuring a well-defined and red cherry fruit. Nice grip here, and sappy, though I would like to see more finesse and persistence on the finish once in bottle.
