Tasting notes
The 2009 Corton le Clos du Roi is pure elegance. It boasts gorgeous intensity in its fruit while retaining a gracious, mid-weight personality. This is another wine that captures the best qualities of the year in its silky, super-refined personality. Sweet floral notes add lift on the finish and serve to balance the intensity of the fruit. Winemaker Pierre Vincent used 30% whole clusters here.

Very rich indeed – almost putrid!! Sweet and black cherry juice effectively. Very much of a style. Not the most refreshing, and with oak tannins on the finish. Be aware of the sweetness... (JR)
