Description
RP (92-94) - The Wine Advocate - William Kelley
The 2020 Corton Grand Cru Cuvée du Bourdon offers up aromas of cherries and raspberries mingled with sweet spices, cinnamon and orange oil. Full-bodied, rich and layered, it's seamless and concentrated, with powdery tannins, lively acids and a long, resonant finish.
The 2020 vintage at Domaine Ponsot marks the first time in history that this estate has begun the harvest in the month of August. Coming in at between 13.5% and 14% alcohol, these are powerful, concentrated Burgundies with deep, saturated hues, vibrant acids and serious musculature, and they will demand some bottle age. The 2019s, revisited from bottle, are also rich, lavish wines, bursting with fruit that almost conceals serious structure that will also reward patience.
