“A lean, racy red, featuring cherry, strawberry, spice & mineral flavors. Very compact & linear, this is nonetheless persistent & long on the aftertaste. Coiled & youthful, this will need time to unwind.” – Wine Spectator

“I did note that floral elements are evident. There is outstanding volume & good phenolic maturity to the round, velvety & overtly powerful middle weight plus flavors that possess a firm core of tannins on the mouth coating, dusty & impressively persistent finish. This is a serious Corton where patience will also be required.” – Burghound

“The 2014 Corton Les Marechaudes Grand Cru has a detailed nose of brambly red fruit, briary, pressed white flowers & limestone – really captivating aromatics … The palate is fresh & vibrant with refined tannin. There is a gentle but persistent grip here, linear at first but opening slightly towards the citrus finish.” – Robert Parker
