Domaine Moron-Garcia, Corton “Cuvée Baie par Baie” 2017

The 2017 Corton “Cuvée Baie par Baie” from Moron-Garcia is a unique and truly delightful wine – firmly setting its mark on the mighty hill. For the Corton – Matthieu Moron and Pierre-Oliver Garcia is using the Baie par Baie “technique” and here we have 40% Baie par Baie, 50% whole cluster and 10% destemmed grapes. It’s a floral, and vividly energetic wine – the perfumed notes of Corton is jumping from the glass like there is no tomorrow. Its concentrated yet lightfooted with a refinement rarely seen – all culminating in the intense and silky finish. The acidity is vivacious adding loads of energy to this Corton.
