Corton is produced in the communes of Aloxe-Corton and Ladoix-Serrigny. This is the only grand cru in the Côte de Beaune that has red and white wine, which makes it, along with the Musigny in Chambolle-Musigny, the only two-coloured Burgundy grands crus. On the Pougets parcel, situated at mid-slope, on the south-facing side of Corton hill, the vines benefit from maximum sunshine. This wine with its red fruit and spicy aromas requires a long maturing of nearly 20 months (partly in new barrels) to maintain its denseness. After aeration it develops dark fruit aromas with tarry undertones. Highly concentrated, with blackberry and liquorice flavours on the palate. The Corton Pougets needs to aged for about ten years.
