These vines came to Jean-Baptiste from his father for the first time in 2018. They lie downhill from Corton Grand Cru Les Combes, growing on deep, pebble-rich soils, with fine clays. At 80, these vines are the oldest in the Domaine, dating back to 1942. “Every year, systematically, this is the cuvée with the least colour” Jean-Baptiste told us. The grapes were 100% de-stemmed. Colour is a respectable red-purple, with splendidly perfumed nose. Fruitiness is dense, tannins are present but well rounded, and good potential is apparent (for drinking 2025-2032+).
