Reduction impairs an evaluation of the nose but there is good verve to the relatively finely detailed broad-shouldered flavors that exude noticeable minerality on the tension-filled and muscular yet highly seductive finish that is both beautifully balanced and long

Bouchard Pere & Fils Le Corton Grand Cru 2020 1500ml not on sale A production of 4There's nothing shy about this uncompromising expression of the 2020 vintage. Dark, meaty and peppery on the expansive nose, this Corton has imposing structure, but has been beautifully crafted. So well proportioned, in spite of its mighty stature. The crushed stone minerality builds and builds to a serious crescendo at the finish. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2024. Stuart Pigott for James Suckling
