TASTING_NOTES_HEADING_BLACK

The 2015 Corton Grand Cru is developing brilliantly, showing even more depth and dimension than it did a few years ago. It unwinds in the glass with notes of wild berries and plums mingled with licorice, subtle spices and petals. Full-bodied, rich and layered, with lively acids and ripe, powdery tannins, it's muscular and concentrated, with a seamless, enveloping profile and a long, expansive finish. This is still some years from maturity, and it is built to be very long lived. William Kelley, Wine Advocate

Producer

Domaine de la Romanee-Conti

Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, often abbreviated as DRC, is widely considered to be one of the most renowned wine producers in the world, and undoubtedly the best in the Burgundy region. This esteemed estate is responsible for crafting seven exceptional wines, including a single white made from Chardonnay grapes, and six reds made from Pinot Noir grapes, all sourced from the highest ranking Grand Cru vineyards in Burgundy. The history of this vineyard dates back to the early 1500s when it was cultivated by monks. Over time, ownership of the vineyard changed hands several times, eventually falling into the possession of the de Villaine family. In 1911, Edmund de Villaine took over as director of the estate and later sold shares to his friend Henry Leroy. The latter's financial stability ensured the estate's vineyards were maintained to the highest standards. Presently, Domaine de la Romanee-Conti is co-owned and operated by Aubert de Villaine, and Henri Roch, the grandson of Henry Leroy. All of the vineyards are farmed organically, and some even meet biodynamic standards. The yields from these vineyards are incredibly low, with it taking an average of three vines to produce a single bottle of wine. In the winery, the wine is moved using gravity to avoid the need for pumping, and no filtration takes place. Fining only occurs when necessary, and the wine is aged in 100% new French oak for up to 20 months before bottling.
