The Corton Grands Crus are situated on the famous "Rognon de Corton"

such as black pepper

It's a highland-scented wine whose aroma blends scents of Chartreusean herbs with citrus pith and white blossoms

Chateau Léoville Barton, 2ème G.C.C, 1855 St. Julien 1999 candea this is pure Yarra charmDeep, dark & virtually opaque ruby red in color. A hugely concentrated ripe nose of black cherry notes, figs & cocoa. The palate is rounded & full with wonderfully punchy blackcurrant fruit, chocolatey notes & seamlessly integrated cedar oak. Acidity is soft, so the fruit lacks a little lift and energy. Alcohol is balanced, length is pretty good & there is good tannic grip at the finish.
