RATINGS

94Wine Spectator

Rich cherry, floral and spice flavors gives this red an austere profile. The dense matrix of tannins adds to that feeling as this finishes on the dry side for now. The potential is in the long, mineral-drenched aftertaste.

93-95The Wine Advocate

Pure bouquet with the fruit a little darker...but equally well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, moderate depth, rounded in the mouth with layers of cranberry and strawberry fruit.... outstanding.

93Stephen Tanzer

Spicy perfume of raspberry, red cherry, cranberry, clove, smoke and minerals. At once plush and light on its feet, with savory minerality and complex earth tones adding interest to the medicinal black cherry, licorice and spice flavors

91-94Burghound.com

Elegant nose... of red and dark berry aromas that are cut with spice, earth, tea and a hint of anise.... well-delineated medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by relatively fine-grained tannins on the dusty and mouth coating finish

17Jancis Robinson

Heady, sweet, ripe perfume then a broad spread of rather exotic ripe fruit. Hint of cough drop, but excellent drive and grip.

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.
