Seller description

1947-Bourgogne Corton -1 bottle-0,75 cl High shoulder, label is médium and capsule excellent, Négociant bottled Dedicated to 99% red wine production, the Corton appellation can claim to be the unique Grand Cru red of the Côte de Beaune. On the slopes of the hill of Corton, the soil of chalky clay, rich in marl, constitutes an exceptional soil from which the wines derive their noble qualities. Dense, closed and very tannic in their youth, they can disconcert more than one amateur: nevertheless, if one knows to wait seven or eight years, aging in the cellar awakens their wonderful aromas of red fruits, spices, licorice And game, and their incomparable wealth. Beautifully structured, they reveal a nice acidity and a great persistence. Alongside the Pommards, the Cortons are certainly the best guards of all the wines of the Côte de Beaune, between 20 and 40 years old, depending on the vintage.
