Elevate your wine collection with the 2021 Corton Grand Cru Clos des Cortons Faiveley, a Pinot Noir that embodies the grandeur of Burgundy’s most prestigious appellation. Crafted by the esteemed Domaine Faiveley, this wine has garnered critical acclaim, including 95 points from James Suckling, who praises its “imposing structure” and “compelling expression” of the terroir.

This Grand Cru reveals a fresh ruby hue and an elegant nose of red berries, rose petals, and subtle floral notes, balanced by hints of orange zest and forest floor. On the palate, it offers medium to full-bodied richness, with layers of fruit framed by powdery tannins and a taut, mineral-driven finish. Critics like Jasper Morris (92-95 points) note its “crisp acidity” and “fine quality of fruit,” while Wine Advocate (92-94 points) highlights its “ample and layered” profile.

Designed for the discerning collector, this wine is built to age gracefully. Experts recommend cellaring until 2026 or beyond, with optimal drinking windows from 2028-2036. Its structure, shaped by subtle new oak, ensures longevity without overpowering the fruit.

Perfect for special occasions or as a long-term investment, the 2021 Corton Grand Cru is a testament to Burgundy’s ability to produce wines of profound complexity and elegance.
