Wine Cellar Private Client

Critics Ratings

'Still deep ruby color. The expressive nose remains cool and fresh with its notes of menthol, wood, red and dark currant and pungent humus-inflected earth scents. The highly energetic broad-shouldered flavors are robust and muscular though not particularly rustic on the mineral-suffused finish that is still quite firm thanks to the somewhat strict tannins.' - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 93/100 (May 2018)

'The same can't be said about the Faiveley's 2002 Corton Clos des Cortons, which was tight and imposing from the very first taste. Still, it was impossible to miss the wine's huge center of fruit, phenomenal balance and massive potential for the future. What a gorgeous wine!' - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 96/100 (Feb 2012)
