Based on the Ladoix side of the Grand Cru, this is a Faiveley monopoly on an east-facing site. It’s always quite a backward, even chewy wine when it’s young, showing the tannins that are typical of Corton, but it develops and softens with time. Taut and firm, but the underlying fruit is crunchy and refreshing with some rasberry coulis sweetness.
