The wine

The Corton Mountain, an iconic landmark of the French winemaking scene, is home to the villages of Ladoix-Serrigny, Aloxe-Corton and Pernand-Vergelesses, which form a breathtaking landscape of vineyards. The estate nurtures its Pinot Noir vines in the climat le Rognet at an altitude of around 300 metres. In the winery, the grapes are vinified according to traditional methods. The fruit is fermented in vats, and temperatures are closely monitored. The cuvée is then carefully aged in oak casks for several months before being bottled. 
The rich, dark red colour reveals a bewitching bouquet of fine, delicate cherry and pepper aromas mingling with subtle hints of nutmeg and spice. The warm, creamy palate delivers succulent aromas of red fruit, leading to a finish of outstanding persistence. This 100% Pinot Noir will reveal its full aromatic complexity after several years’ cellaring.
