France
Burgundy

Just above Les Grèves, the terroir of Le Clos du Roi lies on thin soils, a steep gradient, and the same East exposure. These wines may be quite structured and dense at release, and then over time develop an ethereal floral note with great elegance and length. Jadot works with a top grower here to produce small amounts of highly coveted wines.

Tasting Note

Corton red wines are typically full-bodied with firm structure, dark berry fruit with earth nuances, and savory tannins. These are wines which reward patience, as the initial austerity refines and unfolds to reveal subtle floral and spice notes and an impressively long finish.
