"Much of the Corton vineyard is inappropriately classified as Grand Cru, and there are many less than worthy wines available; but the Juillot family, who live in Mercurey, are one of the reliable names. This has a good colour, fading gently out towards the rim. Rather earthy, redcurrant fruit on the nose. Full, meaty style, but displaying good balance despite the firm structure; there's a seam of tannin which runs through the palate, giving a welcome presence in the mouth. Slightly mineral-chalky acidity, but with plenty of weighty fruit just moving from a primary to secondary character I think. Really grippy finish, so this would do well in the cellar, but also very good to drink now."  Chris Kissack, Winedoctor.com, Dec 2005
