WINE DESCRIPTION

Ardhuy Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru is an exceptional wine hailing from the most highly regarded site of the Corton Grand Cru. After hand harvesting, the grapes are processed at the winery and undergo an alcoholic fermentation at warmer temperatures with the aim of extracting a higher level of tannin and fruit concentration that is required to build this age-worthy wine. The wine is subsequently aged in a proportion of new french oak barrels to enhance the complexity and round out the tannins to create a silky mouthfeel.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Ardhuy Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru displays a ruby color with a nose focussed on ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by subtle floral notes and hints of spices like cinnamon and cloves.On the palate, this wine showcases a harmonious balance between its fruitiness and the well-integrated oak influence. The flavors of red berries continue to shine, complemented by layers of earthiness and a touch of minerality. The tannins are refined and silky, providing a luxurious and elegant mouthfeel. The finish is long and persistent, consistent with a wine of this exceptional quality.
