Corton Greves, Louis Jadot 2014

The 2014 Corton Grèves Grand Cru, which Frédéric Barnier told me was one of very few that reached full yield this year since it was not touched by hail, has a slight metallic note from a little reduction on the nose, although there appears to be plenty of red berry fruit underneath. The palate is well balanced with supple ripe tannin, crisp red cherry and raspberry notes, a gentle fanning out towards the finish that caresses this mouth. This should become a very winsome Corton Grèves -- lovely!
