Burghound, January 2007, Score: 89-92
Reduction blocks the nose but the big-bodied flavors are powerful yet stylish with rich, full and velvety flavors that deliver real complexity on the deep and well muscled finish that is impressively long. This is a substantial wine but it's less chunky than the average Corton and I particularly like the length.
Region
Corton
The Grands Crus of Corton, a red made from Pinot Noir, and Corton Charlemagne, a white made from Chardonnay are shared between Aloxe-Corton, Ladoix Serrigny and Pernand Vergelesses. The vines for both are planted on the hillsides underneath the plateau of Corton's woodland forest. The majorityof Pinot Noir is planted in the southern and eastern sector where the soil is naturally rich with red iron clay giving additional body and power. Overall, the wines from these areas tend to be fruit forward and fleshy with a balance of round edges and fine concentration.
