2010 Domaine des Croix Corton-Grèves: A Rare Grand Cru Burg Chez Moi

Post by John Trombley »

5/18/2017 rated 94 points: 2010 Domaine des Croix Corton-Grèves (France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru) Coravin into Riedel Burgundy stem, warming from cellar temp (53F). Noticeable searching to the nose. Small but numerous tears suggest a liquescent texture but considerable alcohol. Rose colored but transparent-translucent with a 3 mm edge fade. Nose is strongly integral, resisting being picked apart analytically, but built on floral notes, vanillin, a mild tarriness, and fresh cherry pulp, quite harmoniously expressive. Lissome, with balanced and pleasant sweet-tart-bitter fruit complex and a full back of the throat expressiveness, caressing texture; tannins exquisitely fine and nearly completely resolved. Drink now-2022 but might hold beyond for those who like their game hung till the head parts from the body. 94/100. 13.5 pabv. Bouteille no. 0810.
