2024 Corton Grand Cru Les Grandes Lolières, Domaine Henri Magnien

The family resemblance here is clear, but the wine is more powerful and structured, as one would expect, moving from a Premier to a Grand Cru. But, the fruit profile is similar, the wine showing a gravelly, linear character that is merely ‘sexed’ up a touch, but not remotely dominated, by the 75% new oak which adds texture and gloss to the stony and bright red fruit flavours. This is well done and should age effortlessly. Drink from 2033
