2015 wines exude splendid notes of red ripe fruits. Globally the wines show a nice tannic structure and good length in mouth, synonymous of great wines. A great vintage.
Good structure when young, without any harshness. The nose is powerful, with aromas of candied fruit. As the wine ages, spice and musk are in evidence. A good Corton has a velvety texture (« gras ») to counterbalance tannin and acidity. It is very persistent on the palate and ages well.
100% Pinot Noir

History & tradition: the wine is often sold under the more common appellation of Côte-de-Beaune Villages. Joseph Drouhin owns vineyards in Chorey. Soil: clay and limestone. |
| Winemaking | Supply: this wine comes from grapes harvested on some parcels of the Drouhin Family Properties as well as from grapes and musts purchased from supply partners according to rigorous specifications. Harvest: grapes harvested by hands in open-work crates. If necessary, a careful sorting is proceeded. Vinification: total destemming. In accordance with the terroir and the profile of the vintage, we do 2 to 3 weeks of fermentation and maceration in small open vats, marked by punching of the cap and pumping-over. The yeasts are indigenous (natural). Pressing in a vertical press. Separation of the ends of the presses based on tasting. Ageing: in oak barrels including 20% of new barrels. Throughout the ageing process, decisions are taken only after careful tasting evaluation. The data obtained is completed through technical analysis. As with every other Joseph Drouhin wine, absolute priority is given to the true expression of terroir and character of the vintage. |
