2022 Corton Les Marechaudes

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 elegant, sweet cherry character of the aromas here is immediately charming; this wine is not big, but it is accessible, almost voluptuous. The texture is elegant and balanced and does not share the more structured style of the Bressandes or the concentration of the Clos du Roi. The 0.40 hectares of vines are planted in the deeper soils at the base of the slope beneath Bressandes, on the border with Ladoix.
