2018 Aloxe-Corton Rouge Les Combes, Jean-Baptiste Boudier

These vines also came to Jean-Baptiste for the first time in 2018. They lie downhill from Corton Grand Cru Les Combes. He picked the grapes early during his vintage, to retain impressive freshness. Colour is medium deep, purple-ruby. Aromas are rich and striking, the palate being well-structured, with vibrant fruitiness, elegant, creamy texture, well-judged tannins and lovely length (for drinking 2022-2030+).
