Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 Corton Grand Cru Cuvée du Bourdon is the usual blend of some 60 Les Paulands, 20 Les Perrières and 20 Clos du Roi, and Alexandre Abel told me that he limited the fermentation temperature to a maximum of 30 degrees Celsius to control extraction. Wafting from the glass with notions of cherries, raspberries, potpourri, spices and forest floor, it's medium to full-bodied, lively and concentrated, with real energy and excellent structural refinement.
Decanter
Alexandre Abel co-ferments grapes from the climats of (mostly) Pollands with 20 each of Perrières and Clos du Roi to produce this stylish, nuanced, well-integrated cuvée of Corton. Fine, nuanced and refined, it's a Grand Cru red that whispers rather than shouts with understated wood and savoury floral red berry fruit. The tannins are a delight. Drinking window: 2025-2038.
