Delightful rather than compelling but this is so exuberant yet fine that it’s impossible not to like

The 2020 Croix de Labrie is superb

An exuberantly expressive nose jumps from the glass to reveal a lovely array of earth

licorice and black cherry notes

There is fine density to the sleek

Jacques Prieur, Corton Bressandes other_regions_italy Delightful rather than compelling but(from a . 63 ha parcel; 30% whole clusters). A distinctly cool and restrained nose reluctantly offers up layered notes of plum, dark cherry and earth. I very much like the sense of energy to the well detailed and solidly concentrated broad shouldered flavors that also need to develop more depth but the underlying material is present such that this should be able to add complexity. I would add that this is a big 2017 and very Corton like. (90 93) 2032+
