Domaine Chapuis Corton-Perrieres Grand Cru 2016

"Medium deep ruby colour with a youthful purple hue. Pure and perfumed nose revealing violet, wild berries, plum and some meaty notes. Lovely density on the palate, despite its youth already polished extract with a bright freshness, crushed raspberry, cherry and fine spice flavours leading to a long, bright and pure finish." - Andreas Larsson. 92 points.
