Left Cote de Beaune

Edmond Cornu ia an old-school producer that has been at it for several generations now, without changing much in the winery or in the vines. Burgundy is full of generational turn-overs, but here, Pierre (Edmond’s son) has been at the helm for over 40 years, making wine in a fully classical style.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 92
"While there is visible wood treatment it is much more discreet and already well-integrated into the equally fresh, complex and appealing aromas of plum, cassis and pungent earth. The muscular, concentrated and very serious middle weight plus flavors coat the mouth with dry extract that also helps to buffer the markedly firm tannic spine shaping the rustic, youthfully austere and saline-infused finish. This is textbook Valozières."

"Mid crimson. Sweet and rich in dark fruit on the nose. Then dark and savoury on the palate, almost charry. The complete opposite of sweet but not severe. Firm, dry tannins and absolutely needs food but there’s fruit at the core to soften the severity of the structure. Needs time but it’s all in place."

What importer Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine...

There is no doubt that the Valozières is from Aloxe-Corton; it is a great wine that defines the terroir of this appellation. The vineyard has a deep clay base infused with gravel, with the vines situated mid-slope at a south-southeast exposure, just beneath Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru. The Cornu family own one-third hectare averaging 50 years. A firm, structured wine built to last, there is a sense of more earth than fruit; you can feel the grit in the tannins married to notes of truffle and game. Like the champion it is, it has proven that it will go the distance in your cellar.
