Tasting notes

From magnum, the 1999 Corton ‘Clos des Meix’ Grand Cru Monopole from Domaine Comte Senard shows remarkable vitality for its age, the deep garnet robe still holding flashes of youth. The nose is earthy and complex, marrying dark berry fruit with notes of dried cherry, forest floor, and subtle game, lifted by hints of spice, cedar, and liquorice. On the palate, the attack is supple yet structured, with ripe tannins framing flavours of blackcurrant, truffle, and sous-bois. A touch of fresh acidity lends balance and lift, carrying the wine into a long, savoury finish where grace, power, and the noble character of Corton’s terroir unite.

More About The Winery

Founded in 1857 by Jules Senard, Domaine Comte Senard is a historic Burgundy estate best known for its Corton-Clos des Meix Monopole, which became a Grand Cru vineyard in 1937 with the creation of the AOC. Over five generations, the domaine has expanded to encompass 22 acres of prestigious terroirs, including Corton-Clos du Roi, Corton-Bressandes, and Corton-Paulandes — jewels of the northern Côte de Beaune.

The wines of Corton are renowned for their depth, power, and longevity, and Domaine Comte Senard captures this essence with remarkable precision. Today, the estate is led by Lorraine Senard, who continues her family’s tradition while bringing a fresh, modern vision. She practices sustainable, organic viticulture, hand-harvesting with meticulous sorting to preserve the integrity of the fruit.

In the cellar, winemaking respects tradition with a cold soak, gentle pressing, and temperature-controlled fermentation, followed by ageing in the domaine’s 14th-century cellars built by Benedictine monks. The result is a range of wines that are seductive, structured, and built to age with grace, showcasing the full power and finesse of Corton’s terroir.
