Lucien Le Moine Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru 2018 versus Lange Dundee Hills 2021

We have blind tasted a different vintage of Lange Dundee Hills 2018 compared to today’s 2021 vintage. Our team was utterly impressed with the 2018, as it was the top winning wine in the blind tasting competition. Thus, we decided to field a Burgundy Grand Cru against this Dundee Hills to see how it fared against a top rated Grand Cru. Not much introduction is needed for the negociant house produced Clos du Roi, one of Burgundy’s finest wines. I invited five judges during Chinese New Year to be the judges for this comparison, we have a unanimous vote. Let’s jump to conclusion, Corton Clos du Roi won hands down by its elegance and finesse, though Lange wasn’t far from trying to overwhelm Corton Clos du Roi by its jammy and big fruits, and it was somehow successful. We at Fine Wines believe in sharing facts about wine performances, and truthful with our reports, thus we produced these tasting notes to share with our customers. It doesn’t mean we represent Lange means we need to write favourable reviews for them. We are happy to invite you over when we conduct some blind tastings to have you be the judge as well.
