The tasting |
|
|
Intense ruby red. |
|
| | |
|
A complex nose combining humus, sweet spices and very ripe strawberries, evoking the terroirs of Corton with their stony, red clay soils. |
|
| | |
|
The palate starts off very smooth, before the tannins, marked by notes of licorice, impose their presence; structured and slender, this wine needs to be decanted to fully express itself. |

The estate and the wine |
|
|
Closely tied to the reputation and quality of Mercurey, the Michel Juillot estate extends across some of the finest terroirs of both the Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise, with an impressive lineup of Premier and Grand Crus.
Laurent Juillot—a driving force and a beloved figure in the region—approaches his work with boundless energy, striking just the right balance between tradition, instinct, and modernity.
His Corton-Perrières Grand Cru is the estate’s crown jewel: a wine of real depth and stature, produced in limited quantities. |
|
| | |
|
With impressive depth and full ripeness, the 2018 Corton-Perrières Grand Cru Red is intense, powerful, and built to last. Packed with notes of black cherry and elderberry, its concentrated texture delivers a serious, fleshy Pinot—both juicy and firmly structured. This is a bold, balanced wine, with finely judged ageing and savoury grip to match. It’s got presence, polish, and serious aging potential. Rated 95/100 by both the Selection Committee and the French wine guide RVF. |
