Corton Grand cru Les Renardes 2013

- 93 points -

A classic Renardes nose is both complex and overtly sauvage as it only grudgingly offers up notes of relatively elegant red and black pinot fruit along with plenty of earth nuances. There is fine intensity to the muscular yet round and generously proportion flavors that exude a fine bead of minerality on the velvety finish. This really builds from the mid-palate and delivers excellent length though note well that this very serious effort will need at least a decade in the cellar to be at its best.

About Burghound.com

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
