Riche, ample et magnifiquement assemblé, ce vin possède une profondeur considérable et une succulence en milieu de bouche. Avec un tel spectre de saveurs, il n’y a cependant pas de boisé ou de tanin indésirable. Généreux et structuré, c’est un vin capiteux, doté d’un réel flair et d’une grande ambition. C’est l’antithèse du Corton à l’ancienne et il marque
le début d’une ère nouvelle et passionnante pour ce monopole parfaitement situé. (À boire entre 2023 et 2032)
