Michel Gaunoux, Corton Renardes

Michel Gaunoux, Corton Renardes(from a . 63 ha parcel). A perfumed and highly complex nose features the classic sauvage character of a fine Renardes with plenty of spice, earth and underbrush nuances present on the very fresh mix of red currant and plum aromas. There is outstanding intensity, richness and concentration to the big bodied mineral driven flavors that also display an abundance of palate coating dry extract on the tremendously long finish. This doesnt have the same

underbrush and oak nuances

Surprisingly there is a touch of menthol on the still youthfully fresh and bright nose of mostly red berry fruit
