Louis Jadot Corton Greves Grand Cru 2018
The commune of Aloxe-Corton has the unusual distinction of having over half its area covered in Grand Cru vineyards. The Corton Grands Crus are situated on the famous "Rognon de Corton". They have an exposure ranging from East to South and Southwest.
The Grand Cru is a powerful wine with a structure similar to Côte de Nuits wines. The vineyard orientation allows to elaborate a wine with silky tannins and harmonious acidity.
Les Grèves is a South east exposure vineyard based on a siliceous soil. This gives power and delicacy to the wine.
The grapes are carefully sorted by hand and then destemmed. The maceration of the grapes takes place in open wooden or stainless steel vats for 3 to 4 weeks. The vats are punched twice a day during fermentation. The aging lasts about 18 months in the barrels of our cooperage, of which about a third are new.
