🏰 The 2003 Faiveley Corton Clos des Cortons Grand Cru is a 【unique Grand Cru, being one of only two in Burgundy to bear its owner's name】, a testament to its unrivalled quality from limestone, marl, and clay soils strewn with ferruginous oolite. This wine from the extreme 2003 vintage is still very deeply colored, offering an exceptionally ripe yet not roasted nose with notes of 【baked plum, black cherry liqueur, warm earth, soft wood, spice, and orange peel】. The palate is super-rich, remarkably concentrated, and muscular, brimming with palate-soaking dry extract, dark cherries, red currants, forest floor, and cocoa. It presents a robust, rustic, and powerful profile, with chalky tannins and a medium-long finish showing white pepper notes and oak. 🍴 This powerful red Burgundy pairs exquisitely with highly-flavored meats such as pan-roasted duck, roast or grilled beef, furry or feathered game (roasted, braised, or in sauce), and strong soft-centered cheeses or blue cheeses. 🥂 An excellent wine for cellar aging, this Corton Grand Cru is still years away from its likely peak, offering a profound experience for those who appreciate powerful, concentrated Burgundy. Ideal for a special occasion or a serious tasting. Serve at 14-16°C (57-61°F) after decanting for at least 3 hours to allow its complex layers to unfold.
