Corton Grand Cru Cuvee Les Renardes 2022

162th Hospices De Beaune Wine Auction on the 21st November 2022

Vintage Report 

This terroir has a strong identity, harmoniously expressed in the wine. The power of its clay brings a tannic and full-bodied texture. However, the soil is chalky and stony and permits the growth of a Pinot Noir that combines subtlety and complexity. This is surely what makes it one of the most famous Climats of the Corton hill, with powerful wines and a high ageing potential. 

New this year! The Renardes grapes which used to be part of Cuvée Charlotte Dumay and Cuvée Docteur Peste have been separated out into a wine of their own, which is a wonderfully exuberant addition to the range. Undeniably more opulent than the graceful Charlotte Dumay or the perky Dr Peste, Les Renardes is making a celebrated debut. The wine is particularly full in body and smoothly textured, with some mineral acidity to provide the structured finish.
