Clos des Corton
The 1996 Faiveley Clos des Corton is a Grand Cru from legendary Burgundy , a region renowned for its uncompromising Pinot Noir culture. The Faiveley estate is among the most respected producers in the Côte d'Or and cultivates some of France's most sought-after vineyards. Located on the southern slope of the Corton hill, the Clos des Corton benefits from calcareous soils that impart the wine's characteristic minerality.
The 1996 Vintage is considered a classic Burgundy Vintage – cool, structured, with remarkable longevity. The grapes were hand-harvested and vinified using traditional methods, with extended skin contact and aging in French oak barrels. The result is a wine of noble restraint that unfolds over decades and is only now revealing its full maturity.
The nose reveals a complex array of aromas: dried cherries, forest floor, tobacco, and delicate spice notes of clove and cinnamon. On the palate, the 1996 Faiveley Clos des Corton displays a silky texture with present yet fine-grained tannins. The acidity is lively and effortlessly supports the ripe fruit flavors. The finish is long, elegant, and characterized by a saline minerality typical of this Grand Cru vineyard.
At Wine In Time, you'll find not only this exceptional Burgundy, but also a curated selection of Red Wines for every occasion. We deliver quickly and securely to Vienna and throughout Austria – so you can enjoy great Wines with ease.
