The Maréchaudes vineyard sits just below Corton Bressandes and this wine is always very expressive in its youth, particularly this year with 80% whole bunch vinification. Aromas of blueberry and Black Forest gâteau, it is instantly open and giving, with generosity and succulence. The tannins have a sweet ripeness to them. Quite simply gorgeous. Claude’s mother loves this vineyard because of its fine feminine nature.

From ferrous soils at the bottom of the slope, the 2021 Corton Les Maréchaudes Grand Cru has a clean and pure bouquet with rose petal-infused red berry fruit and light incense aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins, Morello cherries mixed with strawberry and hints of white pepper. Its harmonious finish has plenty of joie-de-vivre. Drink 2025-2038
The Grands Crus of Corton, a red made from Pinot Noir, and Corton Charlemagne, a white made from Chardonnay are shared between Aloxe-Corton, Ladoix Serrigny and Pernand Vergelesses. The vines for both are planted on the hillsides underneath the plateau of Corton's woodland forest. The majorityof Pinot Noir is planted in the southern and eastern sector where the soil is naturally rich with red iron clay giving additional body and power. Overall, the wines from these areas tend to be fruit forward and fleshy with a balance of round edges and fine concentration.
