Corton Grand Cru La Vigne au Saint 2019 - Méo-Camuzet

This 2019 Corton Grand Cru La Vigne au Saint is a great Burgundy red wine produced by Domaine Méo-Camuzet from Pinot Noir grapes, grown on a small, south-facing plot of just 19 ares, with a steep slope and soils rich in gravel, limestone pebbles and chailles. The vines, planted in 1959–1960, yield low harvests and ripen slowly, allowing the Corton terroir to express its full complexity. On the nose, this 2019 Corton La Vigne au Saint reveals aromas of black fruit, vanilla, caramel and spices, accompanied by floral notes and a slight hint of reduction. On the palate, Méo-Camuzet’s Pinot Noir offers a soft, delicate and juicy texture, with lovely depth and a refined structure that lends it great freshness and length. The 2019 vintage is particularly appealing for its balance between ripe fruit, freshness and precision, whilst retaining significant ageing potential in the cellar. This 2019 Corton Grand Cru will pair perfectly with a leg of lamb, a grilled cut of beef, a roast squab or game, and will appeal to lovers of great Burgundy reds, Corton Grand Cru and Pinot Noir from the Côte de Beaune.
