2014 Domaine Follin-Arbelet Corton Grand Cru

Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Corton Grand Cru from Follin-Arbelet feels a little muted on the nose at first, but it gradually opens with scents of red berry fruit, sage and a pinch of white pepper. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, well-judged acidity and quite a juicy black cherry and blackcurrant finish that caresses the mouth. This is just a delicious Corton Grand Cru full of vim and vigor. Tasted September 2017.
