Domaine De La Vougeraie Corton Clos Du Roi Grand Cru 750mL
Domaine De La Vougeraie Corton Clos Du Roi Grand Cru 750mL
The name Corton comes from the Latin Curtis Othonis, Otho's domain. This Roman emperor refused to allow this fine vineyard to be harvested by anyone else. The Valois dukes were known as the grand dukes of the west, the princes of the best wines in Christendom. Philippe the Hardy, Jean the Fearless, Philippe the Good and Charles the Bold link Corton to the flamboyant days of the Order of the Golden Fleece. On Charles's death, Louis XI confiscated the enclosure, which remained as the Clos du Roi (king's enclosure) until the French Revolution three centuries later.

Powerful; really complex whilst maintaining its freshness. One finds spices, particularly those with menthol overtones, and, of course, the classic black and red fruits, here joined by a mineral touch.
Sublime; magnificent intensity, balanced, showing aromas both fruity and balsamic. One can also detect a touch of smokiness of great delicacy. The finish is almost without end, and is both refreshing and savory.
