RATINGS

94James Suckling

Aromas of tile, clay and dark fruits. Full body and firm tannins plus a tangy and earthy character. Long, persistent finish; long and flavorful.

92Wine Spectator

Starts out rich, with ripe cherry, raspberry, mineral and spice flavors, gathering intensity as this builds on the finish. Balanced, presenting a lingering aftertaste of fruit, mineral and spice.

92Stephen Tanzer

Lovely perfumed scents of raspberry and cherry accented by flowers and minerals. Juicy, pure and precise but tightly wound and backward, with redcurrant fruit lifted by treble notes of flowers and blood orange. More about perfume than flesh, this very elegant Corton finishes with firm, ripe tannins and lovely floral length and lift.

91-93Burghound.com

An exceptionally fresh and cool nose exhibits aromas of menthol, red and dark berries, spice and plenty of sauvage character. There is good power, size and weight to the big-bodied flavors that display ample minerality on the long, serious and impressively long finish.

17Jancis Robinson

Peppery and dark on the nose...toasty sweetness. Firm, dry, definite. Well shaped and showing refinement...

PRODUCER

Bouchard Pere et Fils

This Beaune-based domaine is one of the largest and most venerable in Burgundy. It was founded in 1731 by Michel Bouchard as a textile sales and distribution company. But twenty years later Michel’s son Joseph acquired vineyards in Volnay in the famous Les Caillerets climat and started producing wine. Over the centuries the family continued to acquire exceptional vineyards throughout the Côte d’Or. For nine generations the Bouchard family ran the estate, creating notable wines, and ran their own negociant business. In 1986 the Bouchards built a new state-of-the-art facility and in 1995 they sold the estate to the French Champagne house Joseph Henriot. With more than 300 acres of vineyards in various parts of Burgundy, Bouchard Pere et Fils produces Grand Crus, Premiers Crus and other wines. It makes red and white Burgundies and is especially well-known for Grand Cru Chardonnays.

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.
