Éleveur 2020 Corton Grand Cru Rouge is a 100% Pinot Noir from three spectacular south-facing, mid-slope vineyards on The Hill of Corton. Under the original label, this Grand Cru received 96 points from Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator, followed by a 95-point rating from James Suckling under our label. Averaging $200/bottle before shipping charges from stateside sources, we have the best price in America for this intense, age-worthy expression.

Deep ruby on the pour, a complex and structured nose of cherries, peach, toasted almond, and spice greet you in the glass. The entry is rich with rose, red berries, cocoa shavings, and dried herb bouquet deftly interwoven with incredible acidity, and ripe, uniform, medium-grained, grippy tannins. The finish is long - very long - with cherry preserves, vanilla blossoms, and an uplifted spice, indicating a very ageable wine aged in refined cooperage.
