2017 Domaine Genot-Boulanger Corton Grand Cru Les Combes

Producer: Domaine Genot-Boulanger   Region: Cote de Beaune, Cote d’Or, Burgundy, France  Varietal: Pinot Noir Year: 2017 
Winemaker Notes: 
“The combes designate places where the slope is cut, hence its name. These are also channels through which collapses, heavy rains and water from behind the coast flow away.Our all-Pinot Noir plot planted in 1983, 0.47 hectares, faces southwest.  The climate Les Combes is a very narrow, long plot to the west of the village. The soil contains deep red clays with silt on the surface. It is very filtering.  
Already the nose is juicy: a triumph of red fruits just collected (mara des bois, gooseberry, burlat).  Decanting points out notes of spices as well as woody nuances which will soon melt into a bouquet where fresh fruit dominates. The word juicy comes to mind when you dip your mouth into it: a fine and crunchy texture like the skin of a berry. With freshness and lots of energy, the wine sows wild strawberries all along the palate, it is a grand cru, full of fruit, grandiose and relaxed.”
