Wine:
Impressive! The 2016 Red Corton-Perrières Grand Cru is undeniably one of the greatest wines of the appellation. It is a structured Pinot, both firm and gracile, of great potential. The notes of black fruits, the fresh and deep palate combine in a very high level wine that one rarely comes across. To be decanted so you can enjoy it today or to wait another ten years or more. Rated 18/20 by our Selection Committee and 92+/100 by Parker, this is a wine of great emotion!Vinification:
