Jean-Baptiste Boudier Corton Grand Cru 'Les Renardes' '23

This Grand Cru from the famed Les Renardes vineyard radiates a deep, opaque ruby-purple color. The nose is profoundly powerful and complex, erupting with aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry, crushed rocks, iron, and a deep, smoky, gamey character. On the palate, it is monumental—full-bodied, dense, and intensely structured with a formidable backbone of ripe, firm tannins and vibrant acidity. Concentrated flavors of black fruit, licorice, espresso, and mineral earth unfold with immense power and depth, leading to a finish that lasts for minutes. This is a wine built for decades of aging, crafted through traditional methods with extended maceration and aging in new French oak barrels to match its colossal structure. Earning 97 points for its breathtaking power and potential, this is a wine for the greatest occasions, to be paired with prime rib, game meats, or rich, truffled dishes.
