Domaine Henri Magnien, Corton Grand Cru, Les Grandes Lolieres 2020

The 2020 Corton Grand Cru Les Grandes Lolières presents a deep ruby colour and a complex nose of ripe black fruit, black cherry, gentle oak spice and tobacco. On the palate it is concentrated and generous, with plum and cassis layers that sit over a mineral, earthy backbone and subtle peppery spice. The tannins are clean and structured, giving the wine a firm spine and excellent balance while the acidity maintains freshness. The finish is long and expansive; this is a Corton built for cellaring and should develop further over the next decade to decade and a half.
