Faiveley Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru 2011

96-99 points Fine Wine Review: "This is undoubtedly the greatest young Corton I’ve tasted from Faiveley, and probably from anyone. The nose is intense with spicy dark fruits. The mouth is pure, precise, dense, and long with amazing energy and elegance, power, and length. Perhaps I just caught this wine on a very good day, but if it is anywhere close to what I tasted, it will be sensational. (3/4/17)"

95 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "[$266 list] Faiveley’s 2011 Corton Clos des Corton is a fitting conclusion to this great night of wine and food. Intensely saline and pointed, the 2011 impresses for its pure energy and tension. The flavors are vibrant and impeccably delineated in a Burgundy that is all about finesse. This is a great showing from the Clos des Corton. (Dec 2013)"

95 points 92-95 points and 'Don't miss!' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "As is usually the case with this wine when it's young, the nose is restrained to the point of being almost mute though aggressive swirling liberates aromas of earth, spice, red currant and hints of the sauvage. And instead of the robust and well-muscled mid-palate there is an almost caressing mouth feel to the full-bodied yet refined flavors because while the supporting tannins are definitely firm and dense they are also quite finely-grained. There is excellent length to the moderately austere, tight, focused and linear finish that delivers outstanding persistence. Drink: 2030+. (Jan 2013)"

93 points Wine Spectator: "Lean, yet succulent and defined, sporting aromatic floral, cherry, strawberry and spice notes, accented by a touch of briar. The structure is firm and linear, with a tightly wound finish for now. Very elegant, this should come into its own in the next several years. Best from 2017 through 2028. 304 cases imported.
