Corton “Clos Des Cortons Faiveley” (Monopole) — 2021 – Wine Spectator – 95 Points
"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."
