Description: The Cornu family settled in the town of Ladoix in 1870 and established the domaine in 1875. Edmond Cornu assumed command of the estate in 1956 and in 1959 began to bottle the fruits of his labor. Bourgogne Rouge comes from a single parcel of vines planted in the 1980's downslope of Chorey-lès-Beaune, across the Route Nationale on gravelly soils of clay and limestone. This Pinot Noir offers lovely purity in its profile of bright red fruits, damp earth, and incense, capturing the essence of this sector of the Côte de Beaune.
