Tasting notes
Limpid violet. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red fruits, Asian spices and smoky minerals, accompanied by an exotic touch of incense in the background. In a distinctly elegant style for the vintage, offering seamless, appealingly sweet raspberry, floral pastille and spicecake flavors that show very good concentration as well as finesse. A core of juicy acidity adds support and focus to a very long, floral-dominated finish shaped by smooth, harmonious tannins.

The 2015 Morgon Cuvee Corcelette took a little encouragement from the glass, eventually revealing blackcurrant pastilles, cranberry leaf and wet limestone aromas that need to develop a tad more detail. The palate is well balanced with a velvet texture, not the most complex Morgon Corcelette that I encountered on my travels, but there is great depth towards the finish with the 14.7% alcohol neatly disguised. I would afford this another couple of years in bottle, and it may well warrant a higher evaluation.
