Rich and sweet. Does the biz though a little less complex than some of the Côte de Nuits wines. (JR)

The 2024 Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru, which according to Erwan Faiveley underwent a difficult élevage as the wood did not integrate in several barrels, has more energy and vigour than several of Faiveley's Côte de Nuits cuvées poured beforehand. Bright red cherries, blackcurrant and sous-bois scents burst from the glass, all well defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, beautifully balanced with a harmonious and elegant finish worthy of a Grand Cru. This is within touching distance of the 2023.
