Bouchard 'Le Corton' Grand Cru 2010
The Wine
Due in store mid Sept 2025
94 Pts Allan Meadows, Burghound 'Dont Miss' 'A brooding but impressively complex nose features notes of red currant, plum, earth and plenty of that Corton sauvage character. The textured, intense and broad-shouldered flavors possess excellent mid-palate concentration with fully mature structural elements. There is ample buffering sap, which is important as one would reasonably expect, this is a big and sleekly muscled wine with an explosively long, linear and overtly austere finish. The potential here is mostly impressive though note that plenty of patience is requisite. Drink 2025+'
17.5/20 Julia Hemmings MW, jancisrobinson.com 'Sweet and lively on the nose, the oak consumed by the fruit. Extremely fine tannins – almost chalky they are so fine grained. Very dry yet smooth and fresh. Excellent length. Drink 2018 - 2030'
