Winemaker Notes
The 2011 Marius Delarche Corton Les Renardes (Reserve/Vieilles Vignes) is a robust Grand Cru Pinot Noir produced from estate vines planted in the 1950s on the iron-rich, stony soils of the Renardes climat. According to North Berkeley Imports, the wine presents a "brooding and layered" character with a complex bouquet of red and black berries, warm earth, licorice, and light smoke.
