2006 Parent Corton Renardes

By on June 30, 2008 #asides

The aromatics are a little narrower than the preceding wines, but in the mouth it’s full, tannic, showing

super acidity and real extension of the fruit before slowly dying in the finish. Clean and quite

impressive.

From purchased grapes, no wood used in elevage. White flower hints with melon and pear. Wide and

mouthfilling. Will make a nice aperitif.

Elevaged in 60% new oak. A fine nose that’s deep and waxy. A real mouthful of concentration that lingers

very long in the finish. The acidity seems a little too understated, but comes through in mouthwatering

fashion at the end. Anne Parent suggests a good match with Turbot or grilled sea scallops!

A mix of domaine and bought-in grapes. Wide-open aromatics of savoury-edged fruit. Nice acidity and a

subtle length.

The nose has depth and a sorbet-like fruit. Deep and serious in the mouth, with muscular tannin and slowly

lingering flavours. This is very good.

Located close to Volnay where the soil has more limestone. The nose is a little wider and higher toned –

more cherry and plum. Lithe and tannic with a super extra dimesion of flavour in the mid-palate, followed

by a good diminuendo. Super.

Another sorbet-fruit nose, darker-skinned fruit than the Chanlins. This is from near to Rugiens, but

without the red iron-oxide soil. This is made up from two cuvées, one from 50 year old vines, the other

from 70 year old vines. There’s a step-up in the silkyness of the ample tannins – they cling to your mouth

– another slow diminuendo. Super.

The nose is a little spicy over an understatedly savoury depth. More wood tannin (this will soften), very

good balance and the first wine that shows an additional burst of complexity as move into the finish.

A wide, slightly wild and interesting nose. Full-packed with astringent tannin, and somewhere behind is the fruit – another wine for the (very) patient.

Burgundy Report

is special because...

Although this site has to support itself, and its author, everything in these pages is eventually free to view. With 350-400 domaine visits and many blind tastings per year, you won’t find that level of coverage and openness elsewhere!

I don’t ‘score‘ but I do actually recommend which wines to buy from which estates – instead of hiding behind an anonymous 94/100 score – does that mean buy or not? We should be told!

The monthly reports for subscribers reverts to ‘free-access’ after a little more than two years, because the whole ethos of Burgundy is sharing – Burgundy Report too – in this case, sharing the passion…
