2011 Corton Blanc

Tasting notes
Very mild reduction does not completely mask the aromas of petrol, wax and freshly sliced lemons and limes. There is a very lush, even opulent mouth feel to the broad-shouldered and solidly well-concentrated medium full-bodied flavors that possess very fine depth and length if not much in the way of refinement. Then again, refinement isn't what you should be expecting with a typical Corton Blanc. I would recommend enjoying this young, which is to say after just a few years of cellar time.
