The 2021 Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru has a pointed nose, a little angular after the splendid Musigny, hints of clove and white pepper filtering through the red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, quite sapid with good backbone, solid and a little muscular on the finish. Give this 2-3 years in bottle or preferably leave for ten.

A pretty fresh ruby crimson. The nose is elegant for Corton, fruit enhanced by a floral top note. Very good. Crisp, mineral, vertical, somewhat raw but with a fine quality of fruit, reasonable persistence. The new wood is not marking in flavour but does help to make the structure. Drinking range: 2028 - 2036 Rating: **** 92-95 L&S (Nov 2022)
Pure and silky, offering cherry, raspberry, floral, sandalwood and oak spice aromas and flavors, this gains depth from earth and mineral notes as it builds to the long, intense finish. Shows terrific balance overall, yet this will require six to eight years to hit its stride. Best from 2027 through 2046. Drinking range: 2027 - 2046 Rating: 95 Bruce Sanderson, The Wine Spectator (Dec 2023)
This Corton Grand Cru has the imposing structure that we associate with this appellation, but also the aromatic shyness and fresh mineral acidity that not everybody will be pleased by at this early stage of the wine’s long life. For us this is a compelling expression of this great site with excellent mid-palate richness and a very polished finish in spite of a touch of wildness. Try to be patient. Try from 2026.
