Tasting notes
The 2021 Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru has a comparatively light and rustic nose with brambly red fruit and rusty piping, just a bit ragged compared to its peers. The palate has a soft red-fruited entry, easygoing with lower acidity, gentle grip and just a modicum of plushness towards the finish. Clearly early drinking in style, but it slips down the throat with ease. Not bad; however, not near the standard promised from cask. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

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.
