Hospices de Beaune Corton Grand Cru Cuvee Docteur Peste (Liger-Belair) 2017 (Magnum 150cl)

This wine is an homage to Jean-Louis Peste, a 19th-century doctor at the Hospices de Beaune. Svelte and vital, it offers crisp boysenberry and blackberry flavors anchored by firm strikes of graphite and iron. Nervy in acidity and etched by fine-grained, persistent tannins, it's a wine best approached from 2024. It should improve through 2035 and hold further. Anna Lee C. Iijima - 94/100, Wine Enthusiast
