Corton Clos du Roi
Grand Cru
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.
Vineyard
Protected by the "Bois de Corton", this terroir is located in the village of Aloxe Corton, with a south / south east exposure. 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 side.
