"Faiveley made a sensational wine from the firm's exclusively owned Corton-Clos de Corton monopole vineyard. It is the most backward and tannic of all the Faiveley 1988s, and has a dense ruby/purple color, a sensational bouquet of raspberries . . . fabulous length and richness, good acidity, and an elevated level of tannins in the finish."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Corton is the Cote de Beaune's principal red Grand Cru, spanning the Corton hill across Aloxe-Corton and neighbors, producing powerful, tannic and structured Pinot Noir reds needing time to soften and unfold.
