Description
Louis Lequin Corton Grand Cru Les Languettes is a finely poised Burgundy from one of the Côte de Beaune’s most prestigious sites, showing the depth and complexity expected from top-tier Pinot Noir. Sourced from the Grand Cru vineyards of Corton, it combines elegance, structure, and impressive aromatic precision in a style that reflects both the appellation’s heritage and the producer’s careful craftsmanship.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a vibrant ruby-red color with subtle purple reflections, hinting at its youth and concentration. The nose is expressive and layered, with small dark berries taking the lead—especially ripe blackberry—alongside notes of licorice, gentle spice, and a refined floral lift.
The palate is elegant yet energetic, with lively acidity carrying the fruit beautifully and giving the wine real freshness. Fine, polished tannins frame the wine without overpowering it, while the finish is long and persistent, suggesting excellent aging potential over the coming years.
Production
This Grand Cru comes from Corton, a celebrated terroir in Burgundy known for producing Pinot Noir with both power and finesse. Domaine Louis Lequin farms across around 7 hectares in Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet, Pommard, Corton, and Nuits-Saint-Georges, working primarily with Pinot Noir for reds and Chardonnay for whites. The wine is vinified to preserve purity of fruit, site character, and the structural elegance that defines great Corton.
Food & Serving
This wine is a natural match for refined dishes such as roast duck, game birds, beef fillet, mushroom risotto, or truffled dishes. Serve at around 16–18°C, and if the wine is still young, a brief decant of 30–60 minutes can help open up its aromatics and soften the tannins.
Producer

Its presence in Corton underlines its standing among quality-focused Burgundy producers.
