Maison Joseph Drouhin Corton Grand Cru, Co?te De Beaune 2020 (12 Bottles)

Marketplace Product - Please allow up to 3 - 5 days for dispatch.

Its colour is rather deep, its nose powerful and verging on candied fruit and spices when maturing. It has good structure in the mouth, without harshness. A good Corton must have "gras" (a velvety texture) to counterbalance tannin and acidity. On the palate, it recalls the candied fruit present in the nose. Very long and persistent, it ends on a very complex note. Optimal consumption: 15 to 25 years. Ageing potential: 40 years. Serving temperature 16 deg C.

Pinot Noir is an excellent accompaniment to lightly spiced Thai dishes or even a mid-morning round of Chinese yum cha. Oily meals such as salmon, tuna or pasta will pair well with a light and dry Pinot Noir, while the more tannic styles go with richer foods like a beef bourguignon. And don't forget the cheese.
