Here we have the confusing situation of a producer making both 1er and Grand Cru Grèves! Of course, both are great terroirs in their respective communes. The Grand Cru example grows mid-slope on the Corton hill with an ideal southeast exposition. It is widely considered one of Corton’s finest red terroirs, with soils of reddish clay peppered with a type of Jurassic limestone known as Ladoix (after the nearby village), as well as some flint. Domaine des Croix purchased their 0.55-hectare parcel of 1960-planted vines in 2009, and has farmed them organically since then. The whole-bunch component was 30% this year, adding lift and fresh, savoury notes that balance the wine’s deep, bloody and iron-flecked fruit. Compact and rich in dry extract, this beautiful wine will repay 10-20 years aging of aging, but is already so impressive.

Reviews

“The 2023 Corton Grand Cru Les Grèves is rich and brooding, unfurling in the glass with aromas of dark berries, exotic spices, iris and licorice. Full-bodied, dense and layered, with a concentrated core of fruit and sweet structuring tannins, it concludes with a long, penetrating finish.”
93 -95 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
“13.3% natural. A deeper purple colour, with a firm bouquet suggesting fruit volume. Still very serious but this year has given the volume for the fruit to expand beyond the granitic tannins which typify this vineyard. There is an encouraging heart to the 2023 Corton Grèves.”
92-94 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
