The 2020 Bouchard Père & Fils Le Corton Grand Cru is a distinguished 100% Pinot Noir from the historic Le Corton climat in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. The nose shows black cherry, raspberry and red berries with floral notes, black pepper, earthy spice and a subtle smoky character.
On the palate, it is concentrated yet refined, with vibrant acidity, fine tannins and layers of red and dark fruit leading to a long, mineral finish. The east-facing vineyard’s pebbly clay-limestone soils and careful French oak maturation contribute structure and depth while preserving freshness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for collectors who enjoy structured Grand Cru Burgundy with depth and strong ageing potential. Drinking well with decanting now, though further cellaring will bring additional complexity. Ideal with roast duck, beef, venison, mushroom dishes or aged cheeses.
