Maison Joseph Drouhin
Corton Grand cru 2001
aoc

Cépage Pinot Noir
Sol clay and pebbles
Elevage in barrels (20% in a new oak)

Description

The name comes from "curtis" (the word for an estate in Gallo-Roman times) and Othon, the Emperor who owned this vineyard.

Since the wine travels well, it soon acquired great fame around the world.

Tasting

"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".

Tasting note by Véronique Boss-Drouhin

Vintage

More intense colour than the 2000's; they show more depth in Côte de Nuits than in Côte de Beaune. Expressive nose with spicy and fruity notes. The wines have found the right balance between fruit and tannin. Ready to drink now.
