The Corton-Renardes appellation is part of the prestigious Burgundy wine region in France. Situated on the slopes of the Corton hill, this appellation is renowned for its exceptional red wines, primarily made from the Pinot Noir grape variety. Corton-Renardes wines are famous for their intensity, structure, and impressive ageing potential. The terroir of this appellation is characterised by limestone and marl soils, which give the wines an unmatched minerality and depth. In the glass, one can find complex aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, accompanied by spicy notes and sometimes hints of undergrowth. On the palate, these wines offer a perfect harmony between power and elegance, with silky tannins and a lasting finish. Ideal for pairing with rich dishes like beef bourguignon or mature cheeses, a well-preserved Corton-Renardes will evolve beautifully over time, revealing all the subtlety and diversity of the great Burgundy vineyard. An excellent opportunity for wine enthusiasts to enhance their cellar with bottles full of character.
