Corton Grand Cru Les Grèves

The vineyard site lies on the southern slope of the Corton, between the Bressandes and Perrières sites. The soil is described as stony brown clay with iron oxides, or as calcareous and mineral-rich. Some of the grapes are processed as whole berries; around 35 to 40 percent whole bunches are mentioned. This is followed by a long élevage of around 21 months in oak casks, predominantly used casks with only a small proportion of new oak. The 2023 shows aromas of sour cherry, dark berries, rose, violet, fine spices and liquorice. It is dense, full-bodied and powerful, yet has silky tannins and a supporting freshness.
