The 2018 Domaine de Montille Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru proves that age and beauty coexist. The secret: excellent terroir. This pinot noir comes from 85-year-old vines on Corton hill in Burgundy (Bourgogne) that contains pebbly marlstone soil and iron and potassium deposits. In the hands of Domaine de Montille, the fruit transforms into a gorgeous red wine with uncompromising austerity and richness. The 2018 vintage offers a quintessential interpretation of Aloxe-Corton. It's concentrated with a muscular frame. Ripe fruits form an enticing core with haloes of finely grained tannins, vibrant acids, and sterling minerality. The multi-faceted bouquet and lingering finish don't hurt this pinot noir's investment worthiness, either. In the words of wine critic Allen Meadows, "This too is excellent." The Final Sip: 2018 Corton Clos du Roi takes full advantage of revered terroir and 85-year-old vines to yield a pinot noir that's more than worthy of its grand cru status.
Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 Corton Grand Cru Clos du Roi is showing superbly, delivering a complex bouquet of ripe cherries, raspberries, burning embers, grilled squab, black truffle and rich soil tones. On the palate, it's full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with an elegantly muscular chassis of powdery tannins, lively acids, and a long, resonant finish.
