2023 Corton Grand Cru Cuvée du Bourdon, Domaine Ponsot

2023 Corton Grand Cru Cuvée du Bourdon, Domaine Ponsot

This is a blend of three vineyards from the hill of Corton: 60% Les Paulands, 20% Les Perrières and 20% Clos du Roi. It has an enticing fruit profile that is both juicy and tight, with a defined and elegant flourish on the end of the palate. Alexandre likes to keep the fermentation temperature a little lower compared to the Clos de la Roche, wanting to retain the vibrant fresh red fruits of the Corton hill.

Tasting notes

The 2023 Corton Cuvée de Bourdons has a very perfumed and floral bouquet, predominantly of red berry fruit with hints of licorice and clementine. This is nicely structured with more delineation than the Morey Cuvée des Grives. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip, quite forward in style with a judicious sprinkling of white pepper and peppercorns toward the finish. The 2023 is delightful, and will probably be one of the most approachable Grand Crus.
