2020 Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Corton Le Clos du Roi

Tasting Note

2020 Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Corton Le Clos du Roi leads with the bottle-specific profile already in the source record: The 2020 Corton Clos du Roi is broad, intense and structured, with black cherry, blackberry, licorice, loam, iron and warm baking spice. Fine-grained tannins and focused acidity carry a long, age-worthy finish. The public-facing read is medium to full-bodied, carried by firm tannins and fresh acidity, so the wine should feel shaped and food-oriented rather than loose or generic. Focus on the named fruit, spice, mineral, floral, herbal or oak details in the source note; those are the anchors for the page. The finish should be interpreted through that same evidence, with texture and freshness described in tasting language rather than internal scoring shorthand. That keeps the note specific to this bottle while avoiding private framework numbers.

The 2020 Vintage

For 2020 in Aloxe-Corton, Cote de Beaune, Cote d'Or, Burgundy, France, the vintage context is specific enough to matter: Early harvest of big, powerful reds; the best rival 2019 and 2016, with immediate appeal in the less famous areas The stored vintage row carries a Wine Spectator score of 94 and descriptor Outstanding, which is used here as ground truth. This matters because the drinking window should not be read from price alone. A ripe, hot or difficult year can shorten the useful window, while a fresh and balanced year can let the structure carry longer. The page therefore links vintage behavior to the actual window fields rather than claiming every collectible bottle improves indefinitely.
