Henri de Villamont, Les Renardes
Red wine | Corton Grand Cru AC
A very coveted hill!
In Burgundy, the hill of Corton, all Grand Cru, is divided into several historic climats including Les Renardes. By ''climate'', a very old term, typically Burgundian, we simply mean ''terroir''. The Pinot Noir vines here produce a structured red wine, a wine for keeping, which already offers a lot in its youth, on red fruits, liquorice and notes of leather.
