Joillot Georges, Corton Clos Du Roi Grand Cru, 2020
🏰 The 2020 Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru from Joillot Georges is a 【beguiling and aristocratic Burgundian Pinot Noir】, offering a complex bouquet of red fruits—cherry and plum—complemented by fine spice notes and a whisper of mineral complexity. The 2020 Burgundy vintage is largely considered excellent, producing wines of exceptional freshness and balance despite hot and dry conditions. This wine boasts a deep, intense cherry-red robe with excellent clarity. On the palate, silken tannins frame a wine of considerable concentration, revealing excellent balance between fruit expression and structural elegance, with a finish of notable persistence. Expect notes of black cherries, cranberry, pomegranate, and raspberry coulis alongside smoky liquorice and truffles.
🍴 This Grand Cru Pinot Noir is a superb match for roasted hare, partridge, duck à l'orange, or mature cheeses. It also pairs wonderfully with grilled fillet of duck breast with a red wine and chocolate sauce, or flank steak with pepper.
🥂 Ideal for grand events, a serious Burgundy enthusiast's collection, or for immediate enjoyment to appreciate its equilibrium, depth, and refinement. It's a wine that rewards both immediate appreciation and patient aging.
Serving suggestion: Decant for at least 1 hour before serving to allow its complex aromas to unfold. Serve at 17-19°C (62-66°F).
