As expected the Corton here is a treat with the vinification perfect for the Corton hill?s slightly austere sometimes even grumpy character. In my view Corton needs an expressive vinification with preferably some whole clusters to express its full hedonism. Guillemot achieved just this with its generous style. This is rich vivacious airy and light-footed ? such a treat! Even hints of pink and white roses are gracing this sterling example from big hill.
A full bright purple. The fruit shows very good energy on the nose. This absolutely fills the mouth with a fine sweet red fruit peonies too a luscious raspberry note with a few strawberries and very good length. Excellent. Drink from 2026-2032.

Another strong performance from Guillemot is the 2021 Corton Le Rognet et Corton Grand Cru a medium to full-bodied rich and textural wine for the vintage evocative of cherries plums red berries orange rind and cloves. Sadly only one barrel was produced.
