RATINGS

92Stephen Tanzer

...scents of dried red fruits, musky underbrush, caraway seed and resiny herbs...palate delivers plenty of body and sweetness as well as surprising acidity, boasting excellent retention of red cherry fruit complicated by dried flowers and a suggestion of coffee. Finishes with excellent length, a lingering note of anise and slightly dusty, autumnal tannins...

91Wine Spectator

Sweet, silky and caressing, offering a complex bouquet of woodsy sous bois elements, with notes of sweet cherry and spices that show a touch of mint, shored up by light tannins. Balanced overall and long on the finish...

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.
