Domaine de la Pousse D'Or Grand Cru – Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru – Red – 2022:

 

The Regal Power of Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru

The LA POUSSE D OR CORTON CLOS DU ROI ROUGE is a benchmark Grand Cru Red Burgundy from the esteemed Domaine de La Pousse d’Or. Sourced from the historic ‘King’s Plot’ on the Corton hill, this wine represents the pinnacle of Pinot Noir expression-combining the grape’s elegance with the Corton terroir’s renowned structure and power. The domaine’s commitment to Biodynamic farming ensures a pure, concentrated, and age-worthy wine.

Tasting Notes: A Sommelier’s Perspective

• Color: Deep, brilliant ruby red, hinting at its concentration and intensity.
• Nose: An intense and layered bouquet of ripe black cherry, raspberry coulis, sweet spice (clove), and earthy undertones of truffle and leather.
• Palate: Full-bodied and finely detailed. The texture is velvety, yet the wine is immensely structured, with firm, polished tannins and a vibrant, mineral-driven acidity that provides exceptional length and balance. This is a powerful, long-distance runner.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

Serve at 62-65°F (17-18°C), preferably decanted for an hour when young. This Grand Cru demands a dish of equal stature.

• Pairing: Classic Duck à l’Orange, Pan-Seared Venison Loin with a red berry reduction, Beef Tenderloin with Truffle Jus, or a plate of aged, hard cheeses like Comté.
• Cellaring: Built to last, with an aging potential of 15+ years.
