Lucien Le Moine, Corton Clos Roi

Lucien Le Moine, Corton Clos RoiNA

This is at once cooler and more elegant with its pretty combination of violet

but it has the lifting finesse and mineral freshness of the 2004 ingredient

wonderfully expressive

A blend of the 2015 and 2014 vintages

The wine sings with the characteristics of this vintage that will be remembered for the sunshine

This is not an especially big Charmes but it’s deceptively structured as the mid-palate seems quite forward yet the finish tightens up substantially while still remaining impeccably well-balanced

A pungent nose is comprised by notes of wood

great Bric del Fiasc

A strikingly complex and impressively pure nose of earthy red pinot fruit with animale hints and ample spice notes dissolves seamlessly into dusty and moderately concentrated flavors that like the RSV exude a finely wrought sense of poise and harmony on the impeccably well-balanced and explosive finish

I think they have fine-tuned these single-plot wines tremendously since the initial and almost experimental 2015
