Domaine Faiveley, Grand Cru Corton (Burgundy, France) 2010

 Of all the Grand Cru red wines of Burgundy, those from Corton are almost always the most affordable, so a look at the price of this wine might make you raise an eyebrow.  But this thing is, a taste of the wine will get you to raise the other eyebrow as well.  It shows outstanding depth and concentration for a Corton, with excellent intensity and persistence of flavor, but manages to do this without seeming weighty or over-ripe.  There’s notable oak on the nose and mid-palate, but certainly not so much as to obscure the fruit or the savory and mineral notes as the wine finishes.  Best after 2017, and a good bet to drink well until 2030.
