Description
“A wine of charm with its silky tannins, a splash of red fruits, and a tantalizing floral bouquet, it’s known as “the cat” chez Cornu as its moves across the palate with a feline grace and has the finesse for which pinot is renowned. It receives typical Cornu treatment in the cellar: hand harvested, destemmed, racked into small barrel (perhaps 10% to 15% new oak) and bottled after one (perhaps a maximum of two) racking and eighteen months of elevage. The parcel is about ¾ of a hectare in size and the vines are 35 years of more in age. We buy two barrels (600 bottles) per vintage.” Neal Rosenthal Importer
A deeply pitched and brooding nose reflects notes of both red and dark cherry, along with earth and wood nuances. The rich and relatively full-bodied flavors possess excellent mid-palate concentration as well as plenty of punch on the firm, robust muscular and rustic finale. This is a very serious Ladoix villages that offers very fine quality. Recommended for both quality and value. Outstanding Top Value – Allen Meadows, Burghound #66
