The Corton Bouchard 2005 is a full-bodied Burgundy Chardonnay from the Grand Cru of Le Corton. The wine presents a complex array of aromas, including ripe stone fruits, subtle hints of spices and a faint note of charred oak. Its palate is characterised by a medium body, with flavours of citrus and mineral undertones. The finish is firm, showcasing the wine`s solid structure and well-integrated acidity. Bouchard Père et Fils’ long-standing history dates back to 1731, making them one of the oldest wine houses in Burgundy. This magnum is a candidate for long-term ageing.

Good medium bright red. Ineffable aroma of musky strawberry, iron, smoke and dried rose. Silky, full and deep, with a seamless texture and captivating soil tones. As creamy and lush as this is, the dominant impression is one of delicacy and focus. Highly complex, extract-rich flavors of strawberry, minerals, mocha, earth and underbrush. A compelling wine of terroir whose captivating sweetness, fine tannins and superb persistence makes it almost deceptively drinkable today. But this big boy will be around for at least a couple of decades.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2008

Nose is already subtle and complex. perfumed sweet meatiness of (someone else’s) marijuana smoke. Intense fruit on the mid palate. Plenty of oak but well integrated and not dominant. Tannins firm like a bale of silk. Fruit aromas fill the mouth and linger wonderfully. Great burgundy. (JH)
