Bouchard Pere et Fils Le Corton Grand Cru 2022

Bouchard Pere et Fils Le Corton Grand Cru 2022

Intense bouquet with aromas of red and black fruit, spices and a touch a oak. Rich and structured on the palate, this wine needs a bit of patience in order to reveal its raciness and great distinction.

Critical Acclaim

96 James Suckling

This has the tannic power we expect from this appellation, but in a plush and restrained form. That core is wrapped in a velvet blanket, but the dominant aromas are dark and earthy, with touches of licorice or pine bark. Very long, compact and earthy finish that promises a very long life. From a 3.55 hectare parcel on shallow red-clay soil that’s almost next to the forest at the top of hill and faces east. Drink or hold.

95 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

The 2022 Le Corton Grand Cru is another highlight of the range, mingling aromas of sweet cherries, berries and plums in a complex bouquet, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and layered palate that’s dense and structured but beautifully refined, concluding with a long, penetrating finish.

94 Vinous

The 2022 Le Corton Grand Cru comes from vines at higher altitude. It has a well-defined and precise bouquet, the altitude imparting more freshness than some of the other red cuvées this year. The medium-bodied palate has supple tannins and a mixture of red and black fruit, white pepper and clove, leading to a refined and persistent finish. Excellent.
