Corton Grand Cru

Essentially planted with Pinot Noir, the Corton appellation is found in the 3 communes of Pernand-Vergelesses, Aloxe-Corton and Ladoix-Serrigny. The geological nature and the different orientations of the mountain of Corton make this place emblematic and unique in Burgundy. Gateway to the Côte de Beaune from the North, it is a place steeped in history, which from the 9th century has been the largest red grand cru in Burgundy

Tasting

Both robust and opulent, this wine offers a lot of sensuality. Its structure in the mouth, tannic but supple, reveals a great diversity of aromas of red fruits, woody nuances sometimes empyreumatic, floral touches, all in a beautiful persistence.
