The tasting
Color Beautifully intense red, carmine tones, brilliant.
Nose Very pure, ripe fruit, cherries and morello cherries in abundance, fresh, noble oak present.
Palate The palate is still marked by its ageing, but the texture of this delicate Pinot offers good volume, and it has the stamina to digest this woodiness. This is a very promising wine, so don't rush it, see it in 2 years, taste it over ten years.
The sommelier's advice
Temperature Serve between 14 and 16°C.
Food An exceptional wine for special occasions and meals in good company! Veal sweetbreads with a simple black truffle jus, spit-roasted free-range poultry, beef cheek with pinot noir, pan-roasted Iberian pork chop.
Cellar ageing From now until 2033, and beyond for enthusiasts.
The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine An established presence in the Côte d'Or, Domaine d'Ardhuy stands out for its vineyards that span both the Côte de Beaune and the Côte de Nuits. This expansive collection of wines, produced using biodynamic practices, consistently reflects the unique character of its terroirs. It offers memorable Grand Crus and Premier Crus, including the renowned Clos des Langres, a three-hectare estate monopoly. These bottles, rare and highly esteemed by wine enthusiasts, occupy the highest echelons of the Burgundy hierarchy.
Wine Extremely delicate and elegant, the 2020 Red Corton Grand Cru Renardes expresses beautiful aromas of morello cherries and ripe cherries, with a noble woody imprint. The palate unfurls its dense, refined fruit with great consistency, backed by a tannic structure that will take all the time it needs to digest the woodiness. This is a fine, promising Corton Grand Cru, to be drunk over the next ten years. Rated 94/100 by our Committee!
