A Grand Cru that will defy time

"He had found the Corton to his liking and each time he filled his glass. A delightful gaiety entered him, a warm gaiety that ran through his limbs, permeating his entire being. He felt himself enveloped by a complete well-being, a well-being of life and thought, of body and soul." It is in these laudatory terms that Maupassant describes Corton in his novel Bel Ami. The only Grand Cru red wine of the Côte de Beaune, it is also the only one to refer to the different sub-climates that compose it. In this case, the sub-climate of "La Vigne au Saint" (The Vineyard of the Saint) is highlighted, which displays subtlety and elegance more than power. A memorable bottle that stands shoulder to shoulder with the greatest names of Burgundy.
