"Good bright dark red. Perfumed, profound aromas and flavors of red cherry, rose oil, minerals and crushed stone, with darker berries emerging with air. Like liquid velvet on the palate--lush dense and incredibly fine-grained. Most impressive today on the extraordinary expanding, palate-staining finish, which rises to a crescendo of spices and minerals. A wine of great thrust and chewiness, this is hard to scrape off the palate. An essence of Corton grand cru.." Steve Tanzer 97+ points

Corton Clos de Cortons Faiveley is the only Grand Cru vineyard to bear the name of it's owner. The name was confirmed in court in 1937. This unique 7 acres parcel sits on the northern extremity of the hill of Corton fairly high up the slope surrounded by the famous "Le Corton" parcel. Soils are poor and well drained made up primarily of Ferruginous Oolites (read: iron based stones) and Marl (clay). The majority of the vineyard was planted between 1936 and 1967 with younger plantings up to 2002
