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.

The 2020 vintage is a unique vintage. It is marked by historic precocity from budburst, with an advance of 3 weeks, until the harvest which took place entirely in the month of August. High temperatures associated with a lack of precipitation cause a significant water deficit as well as evapotranspiration phenomena in July and August. The absence of rain, on the other hand, allows the health of the grapes to be very satisfactory. The particular conditions of this vintage generate wonderful balances.

Rectangular in shape, this east-facing plot rests on limestone Bathonian soil. Rich in ferrous elements and marls which give this wine a structured, wild and concentrated appearance.
