What reviewers say
“Another amazing tasting of 8 incredible wines at the cellar of one of the Queens of Burgundy, Christine Dubreuil, with this being the pinnacle GrandCru to bring home. We conclude we like Corton (this is our second this week) Expressive depth & breadth that topped all the others as we moved up the range. Darker red than most Burgundies, instant mature PN nose invites further with deep, dark fruit in the mouth lingering for ages. We’d likely rate it higher but the quantities were all a bit small!”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Robe ruby sustained moire silk, garnet. Very complex nose with aromas of red and black berries (raspberry, strawberry, blackcurrant, blackberries), flowers and spices. Robust on the palate without losing its distinction, a firm and structured body that allows a good guarding potential.
Domaine Dubreuil-Fontaine Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru is a red from Corton Grand Cru 'Clos du Roi', France. It is made from Pinot Noir.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 1,133 other reds from France, not against the corpus as a whole. 172 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 173 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Domaine Dubreuil-Fontaine Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile

- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 172.
