The 2010 Corton Pougets is a beautifully focused wine laced with sweet red cherries raspberries flowers mint and crushed rocks. The Pougets is all about nuance detail and clarity. It comes across as quite elegant but there is an understated weight that fleshes out on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2030. -Antonio Galloni

A highly complex nose speaks of wood toast menthol wet stone and fresh cassis and plum aromas. There is excellent detail to the mineral-driven and tension-filled sleekly muscular flavors that culminate in an angular linear and driving finish. As it always is this is a relatively fine Corton; indeed it is consistently one of the most refined Corton reds made but note that does not mean that it will necessarily be ready earlier.
