2018 Corton, Renardes, Grand Cru, Domaine Michel Gaunoux, Burgundy

Description

Save 10% on the 75cl bottle, previously priced at £135.50. Offer valid while stocks last. BBX listings excluded.

Like the Bourgogne, there is a mentholated element to the ripe aromas of poached plum and a mix of various red and dark cherry scents that convey a whisper of the Sauvage. The highly seductive, indeed suave medium, weight plus flavours envelop the palate with sappy dry extract that does a fine job of buffering the very firm tannic spine shaping the wonderfully long, dusty, austere and lengthy finish that also displays just a barely perceptible trace of warmth. Lovely stuff, and in contrast to several of the preceding wines, this could be reasonably approached after 7 to 8 years though it should repay up to twenty.

Drink from 2034 onward

William Kelley 94/100

Aromas of red berries, plums and orange rind, framed by a deft touch of new oak, preface Gaunoux's 2018 Corton-Renardes Grand Cru, a medium to full-bodied, firmer, more austere wine than the suave Grands Epenots or sumptuous Rugiens. Fine-boned but tightly wound, it's a penetrating, mineral wine with a distinctive profile of its own in the portfolio.
