2010 Corton, Le Clos du Roi, Grand Cru, Camille Giroud, Burgundy

Description

This Corton is truly spectacular in 2010, with an incredible weight of wine on the back of the palate united with a seamless silky texture. There are some black fruit notes too and though both tannins and acidity are present, you hardly taste them because of the volume of fruit.
Jasper Morris MW, Burgundy Director

The 2010 red wines are sublime here at Camille Giroud, responding well to David Croixs deft touch. His style is very much in tune with the vintage. The whites are very good too but there are fewer cuves this year.

Critics reviews

Antonio Galloni 91-93/100
The 2010 Corton Clos du Roi is considerably darker and fleshier than the Rognets. Layers of dark red fruit, flowers, licorice and spices are woven together in this ripe, flashy Corton. Personally I prefer the energy of the Rognets, but this is very beautiful, too. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2030.antonio_galloni - 29/02/2012

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
