This appellation is shared between only two producers, that is the reason why it is quite rare. This 100 percent Pinot Noir The Corton reds are an intense velvety crimson, darkening towards magenta. Their generous aromatic expression is of fruit notes (blueberry, gooseberry, kirsch cherry) or flowers (violet), evolving towards underbrush, animal, leather, fur, pepper and liquorice. On the palate this wine is well-built, powerful and muscular and the chewy body comes to the fore. Firm, frank and fat, it requires time (4-12 years) to reach its peak. Built to age 15 to 20 years. Grapes are hand sorted at the sorting table. No artificial yeasts added, exclusively indigenous yeasts to maintain the typicity of the terroir and of the vintage. Manual punchdowns and pumping. The wine is then softly pressed and transferred to oak barrels.
