"Jean-Nicolas Méo is very passionate about the fine terroirs to be found on the hill of Corton, and sometimes I wish that the Prince de Merode estate had turned to him to farm and produce wines from their excellent holdings in Bressandes, Renardes and Clos du Roi. In any case, the 2013 Corton “Perrières” was raised in sixty-five percent new wood this year and offers up a superb, youthful and utterly classic bouquet of cherries, blood orange, mustard seed, stony minerality, venison, coffee and cedar. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very soil-driven in personality, with a rock solid core, fine-grained tannins and a very, very long, perfectly balanced and tangy finish. Classic Corton 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.
2013 in Burgundy was a difficult, cool and hail-hit year with a late harvest and small crop; the wines are fresh, lean and classically styled, with bright acidity and firm structure, especially the reds.
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.
