"The 2005 Gaunoux Corton “Renardes” was also tasted here in New York and it too was already quite hunkered down and ready for a long hibernation in the cellar. The deep, pure and classic nose reluctantly offers up scents of cherries, red plums, woodsmoke, coriander seed, hints of the game to come with bottle age, coffee and a great base of stony soil tones. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and rock solid at the core, with stunning transparency, ripe, substantial tannins, tangy acids and laser-like focus on the very, very long and very young finish. A great wine in the making."

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.
Aloxe-Corton is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune, ringing the Corton hill and holding Premier Cru vineyards; it produces mostly firm, structured, earthy Pinot Noir reds built for medium-term aging.
2005 in Burgundy is a legendary vintage from a near-ideal, dry growing season; both reds and whites are concentrated, structured and superbly balanced, with dense tannins and exceptional long-term aging potential.
