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...
Cornu’s exemplary Bourgogne Rouge comes from a single parcel of vines planted in the 1980s downslope of Chorey-lès-Beaune, across the Route Nationale on gravelly soils of clay and limestone. Pierre judiciously employs no new oak during its 12-month élevage. This pinot noir offers lovely purity in its profile of bright red fruits, damp earth, and incense, capturing the essence of this sector of the Côte de Beaune.
