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.

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

The vineyard of Les Moutottes sits right next to the grand cru Corton-Rognet; the Cornu family owns a one-half hectare parcel. Here, we have a wine that is graceful with a generous fruit that soothes the beast that is Aloxe-Corton; it is seductively luscious but with lots of backbone, a friendly, sophisticated and fine companion at the table. With air, the endless layers of that profound Aloxe minerality come surging forth, along with sappy black fruits and that telltale Cornu fresh-turned-earth element. Pierre calls this his “belle danseuse,” which is perhaps appropriate in the context of the appellation … or if we’re talking about Pina Bausch’s interpretation of Stravinsky’s “The Rite of Spring!”
