The 2023 Corton Grand Cru Clos des Cortons Faiveley is excellent, offering up aromas of dark berries, orange zest, spices and petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, tautly fleshy palate that's lively and mineral, with refined structuring tannins and a long, penetrating finish.
Cask sample. Transparent garnet. Light nose and sweet red-cherry fruit. Very Corton, I suppose, and with a certain grand cru density of fruit even if it's not a wow. Good effort! (JR)
The 2023 Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru has quite a floral bouquet mainly featuring red fruit, cranberry and redcurrant notes. It's not as concentrated as the previous vintage yet it's well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with a hint of crunchy red fruit, a twist of sour lemon and plenty of energy, with an impressive, mineral-driven finish. This endears itself on acquaintance and it should age well in bottle.
