Bouchard Père & Fils Le Corton Grand Cru 2021

Ripe yet decidedly cool and very, very fresh aromas include those of spice, purple fruit, the sauvage and plenty of newly turned earth character. The mouthfeel of the caressing middleweight plus flavors is surprisingly refined with excellent power and focus on the balanced and persistent if markedly compact finale. As is virtually always the case, this is a ‘buy and forget you own it’ wine. Drink: 2033+. Sweet spot. Score – 92-95. (Allen Meadows, burghound.com, April 10, 2023)
