Corton 'Cuvée Baie par Baie'

by Pierre-Olivier Garcia

Corton

Corton is the only red Grand Cru in the entire Cote de Beaune, on a hill Charlemagne himself is said to have gifted to the church in 775. "Baie par baie" means "berry by berry" - a reference to sorting fruit at that level of precision before fermentation, on ground with about 1,250 years of continuous winemaking history behind it.

    Another warm year, but one that avoided 2018 and 2019's occasional over-ripeness. Excellent phenolic grip and linear acidity, widely considered the best vintage since 2017 for capturing real differences between terroirs.
