Domaine de la Douaix Corton Blanc 2017

Domaine de la Douaix is one of the few producers of white Corton – meaning a white wine made from the Corton vineyard, but outside the Corton-Charlemagne appellation. Complex – yes; French – very much so, and charming indeed! I love these idiosyncrasies that make Burgundy Bourgogne. This wine is clearly carved out the limestone soil of the Corton hill, offering plenty of mineral punch softened by Conference pear, peach, and quince. It has the Gilles Moustie/Arcenant type of mineral expression, with very appealing and vivid liveliness. A magnificent white Corton … chapeau!

(Drink from 2032) – Very Fine (94p) – 31/01/2020 – ?
