A point of acidity adds levity and length

showing power but no coarseness

lower acidity than many Right Banks

de Montille, Corton Clos Roi other_regions_italy A point of acidity addsHere the nose is more deeply pitched with notes of earth, game, smoke and underbrush adding interest to the briar and red berry fruit aromas that lead to serious, brooding and reserved big bodied flavors that are underpinned by firm but not aggressive tannins and excellent length. There is slightly more depth here than in the Pougets though its less fine as well. A stylistic choice. (91 93) 2017+
