The 2017 Corton-Renardes Grand Cru feels modern in style and a little oaky, with a mocha-like note on the nose, although there is sufficient fruit behind the oak, and it should be subsumed with time in bottle. The fleshy palate is medium-bodied with sweet tannins and black cherry and sous-bois notes. Very sleek, but the winemaking impedes too much and occludes the terroir. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.

The 2017 Corton-Renardes Grand Cru includes 40% whole bunches with around two-thirds new oak. It has a lively bouquet of blackberry, briar, hints of cassis and an almost pastille-like purity. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded but quite firm tannin that lends this Corton-Renardes good backbone. This really fills the mouth, and I find a little more precision here compared to the Charmes-Chambertin tasted directly before, along with impressive mineralité . A 2017 for Burgundy purists.
