The hill of Corton's perfect curves produce the only red grand crus of the Côte de Beaune. The finest of all the Corton wines, the "Clos du Roi", is exposed on the south-eastern side of the hill, mid-slope and benefits from top quality clay-limestone soils. Our plot is located just above the path which separates “les Bressandes” from “Clos du Roi”.

Today's style remains faithful to Hubert's classic and terroir-driven approach, with greater aromatic expression, silkier and more unctuous textures in the reds, allowing them to drink earlier, without compromising their ability to age. The domaine is known in Burgundy for using a significant proportion of whole clusters that varies from one to cuvée to another depending on the plant material and the vintage.

Organic since 1995 and biodynamic since 2005. All our wines are certified by Ecocert.

Vintage 2021 had everyone talking very early in the growing season due to the terrible spring frost that hit the region between April 6 and 8, 2021. Temperatures dropped to -8°C (17°F), irremediably damaging harvest volume. The vines timidly resumed their development, the relatively cold and wet days of July and beginning of August keeping them a bit behind schedule throughout the summer. With twice as many treatments to push off mildew outbreaks, the growing season of 2021 was quite the challenge for our team but everyone’s efforts paid off! Inevitably, volumes were down by 60% on average with major disparities. Chardonnay vines were more affected by the frost because they were ahead in their vegetative cycle compared to pinot noir. Yet, the musts surprised us all with exceptional crisp and stellar freshness. As a result, 2021 unveils a classic and well-balanced profile. Far from the solar character of the previous three vintages, it reveals airy textures and lovely drinkability, combining pleasure and purity.

Fresh and pleasant bouquet of redcurrant and grapefruit with earthy undertones and a hint of black tea and bergamot. It’s a very elegant wine showing velvety and polished tannins and an airy finish. It should age beautifully and be approachable in its young years too.
