Sipping Fine Wine
Was lucky enough to get to try this $125 bottle of wine, great but hard to rationalize the price tag. Production of the 2013 was about 50% of the normal, thus the price. Has a light yellow color with stone and tropical fruit aromas with hints of yeasty mineral tones. On the palate, Apple and peach flavors with a touch of lemon zest. The wine had a gentle underlying crispiness character, well balanced with acidity and lingered with mineral and nutty nuances on the ending. Truly a great wine. Tasting Sample.

Ripe and floral-- good acidity but a little lackluster on the palate for a GC

My fave French white. Pear, peach and vanilla on the nose. Butter, citrus, hazelnut and a bit of anise mid. Clean, bright finish. LOVE!

Red delicious and white flower scents on open. A great balance between oaky chard and crisp SB. Butterscotch and cashew on the finish. Love Corton!

What a wonderful surprise. This Chardonnay has much more citrus and especially lemon than expected. The oak is evident but very subtle. Pairs well with lobster tail. This is a winner.

Possessing a gentle strength, suggesting its ability to age gracefully.

A very young Corton, fresh apple, pear and white peach. A touch of new French oak slightly toasted. A mouthful of youth that will integrate over the next two years. You need to decide if it's worth the price.
