RATINGS

92Vinous / IWC

Ethereal red berries, minerals & spicy oak. Juicy, spicy & penetrating, conveying a light touch & excellent energy to red fruits, pepper, herbs & licorice. Finishes with firm, ripe tannins & a spicy perfume that leaves the mouth refreshed.

92Burghound.com

A very fresh and expressive nose... dried flowers, pungent earth, plum, dark berries and plenty of the sauvage... broad-shouldered and muscular... very good volume and ample punch on the complex, balanced and impressively persistent finish.

90The Wine Advocate

The palate is clean and fresh. There is something almost "airy" about this Le Corton, with pitch perfect acidity and perhaps more transparency than I have observed in earlier vintages.

18Jancis Robinson

Very sweet and almost candified. Relatively light nose compared with the Vosne wines from this hallowed stable. Racy and accomplished... Very elegant and racy. Lots of lift and more class than most Cortons.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Beaune, Aloxe-Corton, Le Corton

Corton is a Grand Cru vineyard for red wine within the Corton appellation. It is a long, slender, stony limestone site that wraps part way around the top slopes of Montagne de Corton, a hill that reaches to 1,150 feet. The 234-acre vineyard primarily faces south, west and east, and is sheltered by a windbreak of trees while also receiving excellent exposure to sun. Corton is the Cote de Beaune’s only red Grand Cru. The largest producers are Louis Latour, with 37.5 acres; Hospices de Beaune, with 16 acres; and D'Ardhuy, with 11.85 acres. The names of smaller vineyards within Corton are frequently added to the names of Corton wines, resulting in names such as Corton Les Renardes, Corton Les Chaumes, Corton les Perrieres, etc.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
