Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Corton Grand Cru Prince Florent de Merode
“This is the underdog (if there is one), produced from 2.27 hectares of vines from the Domaine Prince Florent de Merode. Picking began here on 19 September, and the yield was no more than 15 hl/ha. Despite the low yields and the classic winemaking (nearly all whole clusters and ageing in new casks) the aromas are on the light side and the body something of a disappointment, with aromas of raspberry and mint, and a fairly pronounced aroma of the maturation in cask. The wine seemed less concentrated and yet oddly more astringent than it had from barrel.” -Decanter
