Château de Corton André

Les Rugiens

It all started in 1923, when Pierre André literally fell under the spell of the Château de Corton and the hill that gives its name to several Grands Crus. Today, the Pierre André house has 4 hectares of vineyards around the hill, including several plots in Grand Cru, and it makes wines from grapes purchased on about 100 hectares.

At Pierre André, the notion of terroir borders on the sacred! And it is the same for all its appellations: an extreme knowledge of each plot, hours and hours spent in the vineyards without counting, a boundless attention, a breeding of the most noble.

This 2011 vintage has a beautiful deep ruby color with raspberry reflections. The nose is powerful and elegant, with a dominant of red fruits followed by a very soft woody-smoky. A nice length to the palate, it has a lot of density and racy tannins.
