The jewel of a great maison: Château Corton Grance The jewel of a great maison: Château Corton Grancey, owned by négociant Louis Latour, was in the 19th century one of the most modern wineries in the world. At Inglenook in Napa Valley, there are construction drawings in the archives of the gravity-fed wine cellar that Gustave Niebaum used as a model for his Californian winery...
The wine of the same name is a selection of the best barrels from four renowned Corton Grand Cru vineyards: Les Bressandes, Les Perrières, Les Grèves and Le Clos du Roi. Fortunately, the 2005 vintage is gradually coming into its own. In Burgundy, it has produced dense, concentrated but also enormously tannic Pinot Noirs, the better qualities of which were not to be touched for a long time. The Corton Grancey 2005 is bright and transparent, with a bouquet of tart red fruits, a hint of laurel and undergrowth. The tannins are already quite silky, the acidity still lively. More finesse than power, but still with sufficient pressure and good length. 🍷
