Les Cortis
Les Cortis 2019 Mérune 750 mL
Green apple and melon lead, followed by lemon peel and a broader citrus note. The profile moves from orchard fruit toward a more pithy citrus register, giving the wine a clear progression across the palate. Chardonnay provides a familiar frame, but the fruit remains individual and finely detailed. The finish is compact and fruit-led, with lemon peel lingering after the softer melon note recedes.
Les Cortis 2020 Neumite
Floral and red-fruited, with bright cherry and a light Beaujolais-like lift. The palate is graceful and energetic, gaining depth from semi-carbonic fermentation and extended skin contact while remaining fresh rather than heavy. Gentle structure and added complexity balance the vivid fruit, leading to a poised, clean finish.
Les Cortis 2019 Uzee Bugey
Fresh, fluid and fruit-driven, with an alpine wildness held in a clean, precise frame. The palate is structured and moderately intense, balancing bright fruit with savoury depth. Whole-cluster maceration brings lift, while ten months on fine lees adds texture before a clean, lively and easy-moving finish.
Les Cortis 2018 Sillon Savoie
A delicate, mineral red with violet-tinged colour and layered aromas of redcurrant, raspberry, cassis, blackberry and blueberry. Rose, violet, musk, clove and cinnamon add lift and detail. The palate has real energy, with notable power shaped by remarkably melted tannins, carrying the floral, spiced fruit into a composed finish.
