More breadth of aromas, perhaps more complex too, but nowhere near the precision of the Cortons. Really wide impression in the mouth – full-flavoured with good texture. This is very long.

There’s certainly a similar style to this wine as the Giroud Clos de Vougeot. More closed on the nose but with a significantly longer finish. The fruit – and there’s still plenty – has a bitter-sweet edge and slightly dry tannin is still to found in the background. Overall it’s a shade less friendly than the Clos de Vougeot but again works wonderfully well with food.
