2015 Corton Grand Cru Clos du Roi, Chandon de Briailles
Tiny yields come from this stony vineyard at the very heart of the hill, planted with 55 year old vines: it’s arguably the best site of the whole appellation. The result is a concentrated and intense Corton, with a slightly smoky character, elegant, dark fruit, and grippy but not aggressive tannins. Another example of the success of Corton in 2015.
