Corton Clos du Roi
Grand Cru
A demanding vintage. 2023 is now seen as the hottest year with the temperatures above seasonal averages. This vintage is also characterized by significant water deficit during the growing season and strong disease pressure. We also noticed strong heterogeneities in maturity with dynamics that are difficult to anticipate. The harvest was generous, allowing us to carry out a thorough sorting, especially on the Pinot Noir.
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.

Tasting note
This wine immediately charms with its gourmand nose, marked by notes of candied fruit and violet, which invite tasting. On the palate, it reveals flavors of bigarreau cherry, juicy and expressive. Its good structure and ample material provide relief and a beautiful presence in the mouth. A generous and balanced wine, which combines delicacy and character.
