Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru 2024
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
This powerful red wine is sourced from vines in this famous terroir located in the heart of the East-facing Corton slope. Grapes are harvested by hand and immediately brought to the winery in Beaune for destemming and transfer to large open-top oak fermenters. Subsequent fermentation occurs with natural yeasts at controlled temperatures with daily punch down for several weeks, before transfer to barrels for elevage.
Harvest Note
The 2024 vintage was challenging and ultimately saw severely reduced yields due to excessive rainfall with warm temperatures, leading to poor flowering and uneven fruit set and pressure from downy mildew. Low lying parcels suffered the most. Harvest began on September 13th and the yields, while small, arrived in good condition.
Tasting Note
This is a full-bodied red wine with a dark and brooding nature which best reveals its true complexity after several years of aging. At that point a profusion of tobacco, chocolate and floral notes emerge.
