94-96 Allow me to cut through everything else and bluntly state that the ’05 Clos des Corton Faiveley is quite simply the best young example of this wine that I have ever had the privilege of evaluating. A richly and densely fruited nose that is at once earthy and quite animale along with breathtaking complexity complements to perfection the big, rich and sleekly muscled flavors that are very firmly structured but again, not at all aggressive and the sheer depth of material on the palate-drenching finish is nothing short of phenomenal. To be sure, this is not and will not be a wine for even the moderately impatient and I’m not completely sure that 15 years will be sufficient to really see it at its best to buy it only with the (resolute) intention to allow it a long and comfortable cellar snooze. Remarkable.

Varietal Pinot Noir

Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world's most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means 'black pine' in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.

Appellation Cote De Beaune

The beautifully and unforgettable French region of Cote De Beaune has been revered throughout the centuries, and recognized as one of the key producer's of the world's finest white wines.

Interestingly, Cote De Beaune produces more red wine than white wine, despite its white wines being so famous. The red wines of Cote De Beaune are mainly made from Pinot Noir, but are relatively very light and fruity in their character, perfect for sipping on a warm, sunny day alongside a wide range of foods.

Vinous Media

Good full medium red; showing less sign of development than the '07. Deeply pitched aromas and flavors of red berries, iron, spices and tobacco remind me a bit of the 2015 Clos des Cortons. Massive but still-brooding wine with terrific breadth and depth; much harder to taste today than the '07 owing to its higher acidity, lower pH and huge, building, tongue- and tooth-saturating tannins (the IPT here was very high 85, according to Jérôme Flous; in comparison, the index of total polyphenols in 2005 was 70 for Château Latour and 72 for Léoville-Las Cases). This voluminous wine shows stronger graphite minerality as it sits in the glass but still needs at least a few years in bottle to fully harmonize. It should be perfect with fatty meats and cream sauces owing to its surprisingly sound acidity. (13.6% alcohol; 3.45 pH; 3.8 g/l acidity; 35 h/h)

Wine Enthusiast

One of Faiveley's monopoles (wholly owned vineyards), Clos des Cortons makes powerful wines. That's the case in 2005. This wine towers up, a strong edifice of tannins and big, black fruits. It has all the right elements coming into place, along with weight and some elegance. (Cellar Selection)

Wine Spectator

Gorgeous aromas of ripe, sappy cherry and wild berry fruit, with floral notes. Racy and firm, with intensity and a strong mineral element. It's bolstered by dense tannins, but has the fruit to match. Give this time to reveal its facets. Best from 2015 through 2040. 100 cases imported.

Winery Notes

Ruby red in colour with clear purple reflections. The nose is powerful, concentrated and exudes notes of black cherry and spice. The palate is rich and smooth with good energy and concentration. The finish is elegant. An excellent wine for cellar ageing. Serve with: Seared foie gras with armagnac, game, quail, full-flavoured cheeses such as Cîteaux or Reblochon.
