Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru 2006

ROBERT PARKER “The De Montille 2006 Corton Clos du Roi – which I have not tasted since bottling – displays the sweetness of fruit and vivacity of interplay between ripe dark berries; rich meatiness; chalky, saline mineral notes; and surprisingly supple texture for this terroir that characterize so many wonderful Cortons of this vintage. Suggestions of tobacco and iodine add to the concentrated bitter-sweetness of a long finish with a fine sense of transparency to mineral nuances. This should be worth following for at least a decade.”
