Corton Clos du Roi

Grand Cru

Established in vines from the 7th century, it is part of the great Corton en Crutil family, will be entitled to the Clos du Roi Corton appellation until 1930 when Corton Clos Du Roi will become official.

A dream vintage which offers generous volumes and superb quality. Water is a major player during the winter which allows the vines to build up their reserves before a particularly hot and dry summer. Favored by a mild spring, flowering took place perfectly with beautiful and numerous clusters. No major climatic incident hampers the growing cycle. The harvest, which was in impeccable health, took place from August 27 to September 15.
