2005 Corton Grand Cru, Vallet Freres

The Hill of Corton at Dusk

A mature Grand Cru Burgundy with quiet authority and beautiful old-world depth. Red cherry, dried raspberry and rose petal drift into autumn leaves, sweet spice, forest floor and a savoury hint of truffle. Time has softened the wine into something graceful and contemplative, with silky texture, mellow tannins and a lingering finish that feels polished, earthy and deeply composed.

For when
You want a rare bottle with age, elegance and a real sense of occasion.

Pairs with
Duck, roast guinea fowl, mushroom tart, beef bourguignon, game birds or aged Comté.

Vallet Frères belongs to the historic Pierre Bourée family house in Gevrey-Chambertin, a Burgundy name with roots reaching back to 1864. Today the family continues a long tradition of characterful Côte d’Or wines, balancing the dignity of classic Burgundy with the intimacy of a house that has passed its knowledge from one generation to the next.
