  5. 2018 Domaine de Montille, Corton Grand Cru, Le Clos du Roi
The 2018 Domaine de Montille Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru proves that age and beauty coexist. The secret: excellent terroir. This pinot noir comes from 85-year-old vines on Corton hill in Burgundy (Bourgogne) that contains pebbly marlstone soil and iron and potassium deposits. In the hands of Domaine de Montille, the fruit transforms into a gorgeous red wine with uncompromising austerity and richness.
 
The 2018 vintage offers a quintessential interpretation of Aloxe-Corton. It's concentrated with a muscular frame. Ripe fruits form an enticing core with haloes of finely grained tannins, vibrant acids, and sterling minerality. The multi-faceted bouquet and lingering finish don't hurt this pinot noir's investment worthiness, either. In the words of wine critic Allen Meadows, "This too is excellent."
 
The Final Sip: 2018 Corton Clos du Roi takes full advantage of revered terroir and 85-year-old vines to yield a pinot noir that's more than worthy of its grand cru status.
