The 2013 Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru has a slightly withdrawn bouquet at first, gradually unfolding with blackberry and wild hedgerow scents. The palate is better with fine, sappy red berry fruit and a keen acidic thread with raspberry and wild strawberry fruit. There is a pleasant spicy note that surfaces toward the finish that prolongs the length in the mouth, although it does not quite reach the complexity of the best Cortons of the vintage.
