Camille Giroud Les Renardes Grand Cru 2020 – Corton

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose offers concentration, depth and at the same time – freshness and elegance. It expresses notes of ripe wild strawberry, crunchy Bigarreau cherry, Morello cherry, blueberry, blackberry, red currant, a slight touch of blackcurrant and herbaceous notes – mint and peppermint which add an airy side to the wine. There are also delicate notes of star anise, liquorice, cloves, cinnamon, a hint of torrefaction and caramel after aeration, as well as notes of lily, cornflower and rose in the background. On the palate, the wine offers a firm structure, but round and enveloping thanks to a good concentration and the fruity substance on the palate. It expresses juicy flavors of ripe fruit (Morello cherry, blue plum, blackberry, blackcurrant, wild strawberry, Garriguette strawberry), spicy notes (licorice, white pepper, nutmeg, clove, a hint of star anise) as well as elegant floral touches of dried rose, cornflower and lily. The tannins are well-built and structured, very fine and silky. The finish is long, juicy and tangy, with an expressive fruity bouquet, delicately spicy with a subtle touch of blond tobacco in the background. Beautiful concentration on the palate, with depth and complexity, which will amplify with aging in the bottle.
