Complicated ‘patchworking’ is imposing on the Grand Cru hill of
Corton. There a many lieu-dits that don’t live up to their grand cru
stature. However, there are a few that hold the prestige with pride.
Clos du Roi being the benchmark, placed smack bang in the centre of
the appellation on a mother rock of limestone, and facing south-east.
Just below Clos du Roi sits Corton-Perrieres with a touch more of a
southerly aspect.
"A notably ripe nose of roasted dark berry fruit and earth lacks a bit of
freshness. The broad-shouldered and overtly powerful flavors possess
slightly better freshness on the palate while exhibiting a touch of
mocha on the suave, round and sappy finish. I wonder if this was
affected by the recent bottling as it seems somewhat tired and a bit
flat. The question that I cannot answer is whether it will recover a
better sense of freshness."
