"From 45 to 50 year old vines. An elegant nose of rose petal, red currant and wet stone gives way to rich, fresh and wonderfully vibrant big-bodied flavors that also evidence obvious minerality on the mouth coating and impressively long finish. This doesn't have the same level of complexity of the regular Corton but given that it will need 12 to 15 years to arrive at its peak, my score offers the benefit of the doubt in this regard."

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.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
