Domaine Comte Senard Clos des Meix – Corton Grand Cru – Red – 2019:

 

The Power and Prestige of Corton Grand Cru

The Corton Grand Cru ‘Clos des Meix’ Monopole from Domaine Comte Senard is a truly exceptional, cellar-worthy Pinot Noir from Burgundy’s famed Côte de Beaune. As a Monopole (exclusively owned vineyard), the ‘Clos des Meix’ represents the pinnacle of the Corton hill, delivering a powerful yet elegant red wine that is built to age and impress.

Tasting Notes

• Color: A vibrant, deep ruby that matures into a rich garnet.
• Nose: Highly complex, offering a generous bouquet of fresh red berries (cherry, raspberry) and dark fruit (blackcurrant), with secondary notes of spice, licorice, and a subtle earthiness that deepens into truffle and forest floor with bottle age.
• Palate: Starts with a supple, velvety texture, quickly revealing a concentrated and robust structure. The tannins are firm, providing excellent grip and longevity, balanced by refreshing acidity. The finish is long, powerful, and impeccably refined-a hallmark of Grand Cru Corton.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

This Grand Cru demands a main course that matches its intensity. Serve at cellar temperature (60-62°F) and consider decanting young vintages to allow the full complexity to emerge.

• Serving Temp: 60-62°F (16-17°C).
