Description
This is a wine that will reflect the power and concentration for which Corton is famed. Les Renardes is a walled climate on the eastern side of the Montagne de Corton hill, and its wines are notably rich, earthy and structured. This example will have dense, focused dark fruit with leather and earth tones and a marked minerality. It will reward patience and will easily cellar for 15-20 years.

Tasting Notes
The great exposure of the vineyard gives this complex wine depth and richness. Bringing out black fruits, the wine also has freshness and layers of firm tannins. Aging should be slow and steady and the wine is unlikely to be ready to drink before 2024. Cellar Selection. Score - 94. (Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, Dec. 1, 2019)
