Comte Senard, Corton Clos Meix Vintage:2017 preserved lemon and candied ginger

preserved lemon and candied ginger enlivened by a spine of racy acidity and an underlying streak of minerally smoke and brine

from the Bricco Fiasco vineyard in Castiglione

southeast-facing vineyard planted in 1973 in Laguardia at 500 meters altitude

refined and pure medium weight flavors exude a fine bead of minerality onto the harmonious and classy finale

This too is excellent and a wine that should amply repay extended keeping

Comte Senard, Corton Clos Meix Vintage:2017 preserved lemon and candied ginger(a large 2 ha monopole of the Domaine with 80% of the vines planted in 45 and the rest in 75; 100% whole clusters). Here too there is moderate wood influence to the intensely earthy and overtly sauvage aromas of spiced plum and black raspberry. The rich and nicely dense flavors possess a velvety and caressing mouth feel that exhibit a pretty minerality on the nicely balanced and impressively complex if not especially refined finish.
