Corton Grand Cru 2023
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
This rare wine is the product of two small parcels named Les Chaumes and La Voierose, which combined comprise less than half an acre. These are located on the lower slopes of the Corton hill, below Les Pougets and oriented directly South. Soils here are red with clay and small stones. These vines typically produce abundant and ripe grapes with the potential for full-bodied and powerful wines.
Harvest Note
Winter and early Spring were unusually warm and dry however March brought much-needed rainfall which led to homogenous flowering in May. Stormy weather in June was followed by mild late summer, and an unusual September heat wave. Harvest was finished on September 16th, and by picking only in the cool morning hours freshness was preserved.
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.
