2009 Technical Specifications
Drinking Window 2017+
Region Corton
Production Details At the February review visit, the producer said none of its 2009 whites had been racked and no SO2 had yet been added. The producer also said its wines retain noticeable residual CO2 and should be decanted; these are release-wide observations rather than finished-wine analytical measurements specific to Corton Blanc.
Tasting Notes Burghound described ripe orchard fruit with lactic and lees-derived aromas, followed by opulent, concentrated, powerful flavors, firm acidity and a long, stony finish.

2008 Technical Specifications
Drinking Window 2016+
Region Corton
Production Details Across the 2008 white release, sulfur use was described as very limited and in some unspecified cases absent; malolactic fermentations finished relatively early, the wines were then left untouched, and lees work was emphasized. The producer also reported noticeable residual CO2 and recommended decanting. The source does not specify the Corton Blanc’s individual sulfur amount.
Tasting Notes Burghound described restrained white-peach and pear aromas, full-bodied and tautly muscular flavors, and a tangy citrus finish with impressive persistence.

2005 Technical Specifications
Grape Varieties Predominantly Chardonnay with a small percentage of Pinot Blanc
Drinking Window 2012+
Region Corton
Production Details For the 2005 whites, the producer reported relatively fast alcoholic fermentation followed by deliberately prolonged malolactic fermentation; at the review stage the wines had not been racked or pumped, and the stated plan was to bottle without fining or filtration. Approximately 13.5% potential alcohol was reported across growers, not as finished-wine alcohol for this Corton Blanc.
Tasting Notes Burghound described moderately exotic fruit, freshness and concentration, followed by massive, powerful, dense and mouth-coating flavors.
