Bouchard Pere & Fils 2003 Le Corton Pinot Noir (Corton)
- $100
This is a peacock of a wine, all show and panache. But underneath the fine aromas and flavors there is something more serious: power, generous juicy fruits and layers of tannin and acidity. The structure says long life—wait at least 5 years before even thinking about it. Imported by Clicquot Inc.

Faiveley 2005 Clos des Cortons Pinot Noir (Corton)
- Cellar Selection
- $195
One of Faiveley’s monopoles (wholly owned vineyards), Clos des Cortons makes powerful wines. That’s the case in 2005. This wine towers up, a strong edifice of tannins and big, black fruits. It has all the right elements coming into place, along with weight and some elegance.

Domaine de la Pousse d'Or 2009 Corton Clos du Roi Pinot Noir (Corton)
- Cellar Selection
- $163
A powerful wine, very structured with wood, coffee notes and dark tannins. It feels extracted, although the weight of fruit is certainly enough to handle that. It’s for the long haul, a concentrated wine that needs at least 10 years.

Domaine Faiveley 2009 Clos des Cortons Faiveley Pinot Noir (Corton)
- Cellar Selection
- $200
While the aroma has pronounced new wood characters, the palate is more subtle, emphasizing the powerful dark fruits, coffee note and sweet fruit tannins as much as wood. With a delicious, opulent full-bodied feel to it, this will age well over 5–6 years and more.

Domaine Laleure-Piot 2007 Corton-Rognet Pinot Noir (Corton)
- Cellar Selection
- $145
A firm, tightly balanced wine, the intense fruit fitting into a dry, solidly tannic framework. It is ripe, certainly, with a sweet, juicy character, but the dense structure is as important, a core of steely resolve to go with the delicious fruit and acidity. Demands 5–10 years and more aging.

Bouchard Pere & Fils 2002 Le Corton Pinot Noir (Corton)
- $67
Solid, rich wine, which is piled with tannins and beautifully crafted black fruits, acidity and firm tannins.

Domaine Antonin Guyon 2002 Corton Clos du Roi Pinot Noir (Corton)
- $65
A superb wine, which is dominated by enticing aromas of sweet fruit. Flavors of sweet strawberries mingle gracefully with soft, rich tannins.

Bouchard Pere & Fils 2007 Le Corton Pinot Noir (Corton)
- $110
Big fruit, big tannins and a delicious raspberry jelly feel are found on this complex wine. The fruit is equal to the dusty tannins, with the acidity—typical of the year—very prominent. The wine has richness though, with a tangible final burst of power.
— R.V.
