Country: France / Clos des Cortons
Variety: Pinot Noir Burgundy
Winery: Faiveley / Corton
One of Faiveley’s monopoles (wholly owned vineyards), Clos des Cortons makes powerful wines. That’s the case in 2005. This wine towers up, a strong edifice of tannins and big, black fruits. It has all the right elements coming into place, along with weight and some elegance.
