This quite resembles the Grèves with its brooding nose that displays notes of poached plum, wild red currant and violet along with wisps of spice and warm earth. The mid-palate of the larger-scaled flavors is quite supple, and especially so for Corton, though the youthfully austere and serious finish tightens up considerably.
James Suckling
Very attractive sweet, ripe fruit with a fine array of red and violet flowers, as well as some briar and chalky, stony nuances. The palate delivers a strong core of powerfully dense tannins that carry long and even. This is regal, true to type and beautifully executed. Old vines and 100 per cent whole clusters here. Try from 2022.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Aromas of sweet red berries, plums, spicy forest floor and dark chocolate introduce the 2017 Corton Grand Cru Clos du Roi, a medium to full-bodied, incipiently velvety wine with tangy acids, powdery structuring tannins and a vibrant core of fruit. This is a delicate middle-weight Clos du Roi in the making.
