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 (Edmondโs 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 โbelle danseuse,โ which is perhaps appropriate in the context of the appellation โฆ or if weโre talking about Pina Bauschโs interpretation of Stravinskyโs โThe Rite of Spring!โ
