2014 Corton, Le Clos du Roi, Grand Cru, Camille Giroud, Burgundy

Description

An excellent, medium deep colour heralds an elegantly fragrant nose, with a great deal behind. This is sensitively handled – it’s by no means a blockbuster and is very sensual in the mouth with a long finish. David’s deft touch with Corton continues.

Tasting with David Croix at Camille Giroud is always a pleasure, especially so this year as the range of 2014s is delicious. David feels that the wines are all about drinkability and balance rather than exceptional power. His theory is that the great start to the growing season kept the vines healthy through the cool, damp summer.

Critics reviews

Neal Martin 89/100
Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, Giroud's 2014 Corton Grand Cru Clos de Roi has a juicy, fruit-driven bouquet with ample redcurrant, cranberry and wild strawberry notes, although it does not quite deliver the same terroir expression of, say, Domaine de la Vougeraie's Clos de Roi. The palate is medium-bodied with again) plenty of juicy fruit lending this a fleshy, buxom-like personality. I appreciate the length of this Corton even if it does not quite match the complexity and personality of its peers.

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
