The 2017 Corton Blanc also had a late malo completion and, consequently, was still in barrel at the time of my visit and had not yet been racked. The wine is beautifully expressive on the nose, offering up a refined mix of apple, pear, orange blossoms, chalky soil tones, crème patissière and a nice touch of salinity in the upper register. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, pure and quite deep at the core, with sound acids, lovely focus and grip and a long, complex and bouncy finish. This is not quite as open for business as the Îles de Vergelesses Blanc, but it is not going to demand too much patience before it too is drinking with great breed and generosity.
