Bouchard Père & Fils - Le Corton Grand Cru Domaine 2008
Rating: Robert Parker 94/100, Gault Millau 19/20 (Coup de Coeur), Bettane & Desseauve 18.5/20, RVF 16.5/20, Guide Hachette 1* (Very successful wine)
“An unpretentious wine that exudes delicacy. But don’t be fooled: while the attack is fresh, crisp, floral, and lively, the mid-palate expands with power and depth, featuring spices, peony, and notes of cedar as well. The finish finds its balance with a touch of warmth that lends this mineral wine a sensual quality. ” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2011 - Gault Millau)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2023 guide): 4* Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
From Cazetiers to Bouzeron, this major Beaune-based wine merchant, founded in 1731, owns more than 142 plots across 130 hectares of vineyards, including 73 hectares of Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards. This first-rate wine-growing heritage allows Frédéric Weber, a talented winemaker previously in charge of Château de Poncié, to produce approximately 600,000 bottles out of the total three million units produced here each year, with the majority of production coming from purchased grapes for the grand crus and from carefully selected musts for the whites other than those from the estate. Impressive success with both whites and reds in recent vintages.
