"This is one of the rare '47s that I have had in the last ten years that didn't display even a trace of volatile acidity though to be sure, the fully secondary and highly complex nose was clearly a product of the vintage as it's very ripe with ample amounts of spice, smoke, warm earth and the classic Corton animale character. The big, rich and still admirably concentrated flavors possess plenty of muscle and power that continues onto the mouth coating, delicious and strikingly long finish. This is still a monument of a wine and it's clear that the decades of very cold storage in the Giroud cellars have served this wine well as it's still sipping from the fountain of youth."

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.
