Description

Edmond Cornu & Fils Chorey-les-Beaune Rouge 'Les Bons Ores' 2020Pierre owns two hectares of 40 year old vines in this lieu dit situated at the southern edge of Chorey ls Beaune, with a gravel infused mix of clay and limestone. A mere 10% new oak allows its appellation typical supple red fruit to lead the show, and this pinot noir balances clean, sweet spices with a suave, mouth filling texture that is uncommonly dense for a Chorey. Its acidity is fresh and pert without being intrusive.
