Here we have the confusing situation of a producer making both 1er and Grand Cru Grèves! What are you going to do? Of course, both are great terroirs in their respective communes. The Grand Cru example grows on the Corton hill’s mid-slope 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 a 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 iron-and-blood fruit. Compact and rich in dry extract, this will repay 10 years in your cellar. 

Domaine des Croix Grand Cru Corton Les Grèves 2022

Reviews

“This nose has a mixture of redcurrant and cranberry fruit, crushed stone and light rose petal scents. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins, effortlessly balanced - you can barely tell the 14.7% alcohol. It fans out wonderfully on the finish. Velvety and sensual.”
92 -94 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
“Scents of orange zest, cherries, petals and berries preface the 2022 Corton Grand Cru Les Grèves, a medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated wine that's lively and sapid, with serious structure to burn. It's built for the cellar.”
92 -94 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
“This has a big bold purple colour, and stays exceptionally large scale throughout. Very heady in its brambly fruit, with the raft of tannins which are always in the Grèves continuing to do their thing at the back. Punchy enough all round. This vineyard may need that extra degree of ripeness for the fruit to balance the tannins.”
