The Story

The Hill of Corton lies in the midst of a cluster of famous wine-growing villages – Ladoix-Serrigny, Aloxe-Corton, Pernand-Vergelesses and Savigny-lès-Beaune – with, to the north, the southern end of the Côte de Nuits, where vineyards mingle with stone quarries (Comblanchien limestone).

Written Notes

“An incredible nose, initially dominated by vanilla, but opening up to reveal aromas of sweet corn, butter, citrus, popcorn, caramel apple (light on the caramel and green on the apple)...toasty, nutty, and oaky without the oak be- ing obtrusive as in you-know-what state...a thoroughbred of a nose...very ripe and oily wine, with a touch of an overbite but not too much...acids buried behind a wealth of fruit...bigger than the Lafon Montrachet but a hint of wild stubborness...more classiCôterroir in nose as well... about as much oak as you can have in a white Burgundy and still have perfect integration...”(97pts JK)
