Château Corton Grancey Grand Cru

The grapes come from several Corton Grand Cru climats, including Bressandes, Perrières, Grèves, Clos du Roi and, depending on the vintage, Chaumes. The subsoil is described as marl and limestone; the vines are on average more than 40 years old and are harvested by hand. The parcels are fermented separately in open vats using traditional methods, then matured for ten to twelve months in French oak barrels, around 35 percent of them new. In the glass, it shows a concentrated, full-bodied style with dark berry fruit, cherry, spices, liquorice, fresh acidity, prominent tannins and a long finish.
