Le Corton Grand Cru: A Pillar of Burgundy's Côte d'Or

The BOUCHARD PERE ET FILS LE CORTON ROUGE stands as a powerful testament to the nobility of Pinot Noir. Sourced from the historic 'Le Corton' vineyard, this wine is the sole red Grand Cru from the Côte de Beaune, making it a unique and essential addition to any cellar. It perfectly balances the classic finesse of Burgundy with the robust structure expected of a Grand Cru.

Tasting Profile & Cellaring

• Appearance: A deep, lustrous ruby, promising evolution towards a complex garnet with bottle age.
• Aromatics: The bouquet is rich and expansive, displaying layers of ripe red and dark berries, evolving into notes of leather, woodland earth, and delicate spice from its oak maturation.
• Mouthfeel: Full-bodied and structured, yet possessing the velvety texture of a great Pinot Noir. The tannins are firm, ensuring longevity, while the palate is concentrated and long. A wine of great distinction that requires time to truly unfurl.

Food Pairing & Service

A wine this regal pairs best with equally rich, savory dishes. Serve at cellar temperature (17°C-18°C). Patience is key; this wine will evolve beautifully over 10+ years.
