Certainly, Cornus awe inspiring Corton, from a half hectare in the lieu dit of Les Bressandes, is always the most imposing, concentrated, long lasting wine in the cellar. With its massive,

heavily laden with stones

meat-and-potatoes red Burgundy that can only be made by a grower who knows how and when to get out of the way of the terroir

It spends 18 months in 20-hectoliter Stockinger casks before being bottled without fining or filtration

The elevage is in cuve on the fine lies for approximately eight months

Despite all of this intensity

After harvest

with a pronounced saline streak and the ability to evolve well for a decade or more in bottle

the “Ca’Mia” experiences a cuvaison of at least 3 weeks before being racked into large French “botti” for two years or more of aging

almond nougat

and indeed this wine is bright
