2015 Corton Renardes Grand Cru
BLEND | 100% Pinot Noir
VINEYARDS | The “Montagne de Corton” brings together the villages of Ladoix-Serrigny, Aloxe-Corton and Pernand-Vergelesses, between the Côte des Pierres (south of Côte de Nuits, where vineyards mingle with the Comblanchien stone quarries) and Savigny-lès-Beaune (north of the Côte de Beaune). The vineyards extend between 250 and 330 metres in altitude, forming an amphitheatre found nowhere else in the Côte.
WINEMAKING | Aged 18 months in French oak.
PRESS | 93+ WA
”The 2015 Corton-Renardes Grand Cru opens in the glass with a lovely bouquet of black raspberries, grilled squab, rose petals and spices. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and enveloping, with a deep, layered core, powdery structuring tannins and ripe acids, concluding with a long, youthfully chewy and delicately oak-inflected finish. This is a dramatic, gourmand Corton-Renardes that will reward bottle age.”
