($94, Henriot, Inc.): Philippe Prost, Bouchard’s winemaker, has outdone himself with this Corton. A beautifully structured frame supports luxuriously ripe dark fruit. Subtle bitter cherry notes emerge from beneath polished tannins. A savory component in the finish adds to the intrigue. Unusually big and concentrated for Corton, it nonetheless retains all the elegance and finesse characteristic of a Grand Cru. Anyone who doubts that Corton deserves Grand Cru status needs to taste this wine. 95 Michael Apstein Jul 31, 2012
