Corton Rouge Follin-Arbelet 2023 (750ML)

97 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "From the heart of Corton. Densely packed dark fruit with a spice-driven lift and flor-edged aromas. The palate is lush and textural, with a seamlessly integrated mouthfeel and silky tannins. There is so much quality and no hard edges, so it can be drunk immediately or aged for decades to come. Drink or hold." 10/25

90-92 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2023 Corton Grand Cru, which has lower alcohol than other cuvées, has an attractive bouquet with violet-tinged black fruit and a little more freshness than the Premier Crus. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth texture, low acidity and a little licorice and fig notes toward the finish, suggesting that it just went past optimal picking date this year." 11/24

91-93 Points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy: "Their Corton is never the highest in alcohol, so below 14% this year. Dark crimson in colour with sunshine on the cherry fruit. Much more energy on the palate, a good natural acidity, and fine persistence. Not a flamboyant style of Corton, but good. Drink from 2030-2036." 10/24
