Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru (Monopole)

Marked by toasty new oak, vanilla and resin notes, this red also reveals a core of cherry, raspberry, earth and mineral flavors. Broad and powerful, backed by bright acidity and fine-grained, chalky tannins. Though long, this needs time to integrate all the elements. Best from 2029 through 2048. 57 cases imported.

Beautiful nose of fresh Damson plums with a slew of delicate, spicy nuances. For anyone who thinks that great Burgundy must be delicate and silky, here is the firm and deeply structured answer to that one-sided viewpoint. Enormously stony wild herb character powers the extremely long, simultaneously firm and expressive finish. From organically grown grapes from a 2.88-hectare plot. Matured in 50% new oak and 50% once-used oak. Drinkable now, but best from 2027.

Pure and silky, offering cherry, raspberry, floral, sandalwood and oak spice aromas and flavors, this gains depth from earth and mineral notes as it builds to the long, intense finish. Shows terrific balance overall, yet this will require six to eight years to hit its stride. Best from 2027 through 2046. 57 cases imported.
