Joseph Drouhin Corton Grand Cru 2018 emmerich-knoll Bourgueil ‘Les Racines’ is madeThe color is rather deep its nose powerful and verging on candied fruit and spices when maturing. It has good structure in the mouth without harshness. A good Corton must have "gras" (a velvety texture) to counterbalance tannin and acidity. On the palate it recalls the candied fruit present in the nose. Very long and persistent it ends on a very complex note.
