This 2012 Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru from Domaine Comte Senard is a powerful yet refined expression of this prestigious climat, known for its aristocratic character and balance from the historic Aloxe-Corton hillside.
It presents a deep ruby hue with aromas of ripe wild dark berries, cassis, gamey notes, pungent earth, subtle spice, and a gentle touch of oak. On the palate, it's medium- to full-bodied with good concentration, suave roundness, muscular yet firm structure, fine tannins, and a long, persistent finish blending fruity depth with savory earthiness.
