The Maréchaudes vineyard sits just below Corton Bressandes. This wine is always very expressive in its youth, and 2022 is no exception: the depth and richness of fruit allowed Claude to use a little more new oak this year during the élevage, enhancing the wine’s generosity. There is power, depth and great persistence on the finish thanks to the combination of iron oxide and clay soils. Superb.

The 2022 Corton Les Maréchaudes Grand Cru perhaps reveals the whole bunches more than other cuvées, with the most transparent and ephemeral red cherry and raspberry fruit scents. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, very harmonious and smooth. This is a more elegant, refined Corton Grand Cru that should drink after just three or four years. Drinking Window: 2026-2042.
Racked last week. Mid crimson purple in colour. The bouquet is quite expressive despite the recent racking, both strawberries and raspberries, perhaps a little dissociated at the moment, with an elegance though and a fine lifted finish. A little iron rich note in the middle. This is likely to gain in coherence from here and the finish is certainly both fine and persistent. Drink from 2029-2038.
The 2022 Corton Les Maréchaudes Grand Cru has turned out especially well, retaining a cooler feel in this warmer vintage. Offering up aromas of plums and cherries mingled with tones of peonies, licorice and rose petals, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, with a deep, vibrant core of fruit and a polished, harmonious profile.
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.
