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.
Notes de Presse
15.5/20
This wine which seems to be narrow offers blackcurrant scents macerated with underwood, old leather. The mouth has a recessed palate with an austere lettuce. Good future. Consistent with a cranberry marcassin cook. Gault&Millau
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
The wines offer a good breadth. The tannic structure is not too present. In Côte de Beaune the wines are more heterogeneous and some of them can be drunk.
