Notes:
The 2023 Corton Les Grandes Lolières Grand Cru, matured in 75% new oak, has quite a backward nose despite rigorous aeration. Still, I admire its precision and mineralité that only comes forth after a couple of minutes in the glass. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity threaded through the mineral-rich red fruit. It has gentle grip and a precise, poised finish that fans out. This is a superb Corton from Magnien that surpasses the previous vintage. Vinous Media / Neal Martin 93
More ruby in the colour, a little more density than for La Coutière. The bouquet has a light floral touch but with some red berry fruit beneath. At the lighter end of Corton, but on the palate the wine puts on weight. Nothing heavy and the tannins are fine, while the fruit persists nicely. Drink from 2026-2031. Tasted Nov 2022. Jasper Morris 89-92
Moderate wood frames ripe aromas of poached plum with additional nuances of forest floor, spice and a floral top note. The succulent, even seductive, yet powerful larger-bodied flavors coat the palate with sappy dry extract that also serves to buffer the firm tannic spine shaping the long and nicely complex finale where the only nit is a touch of warmth.
