2019 Corton, Renardes, Grand Cru, Camille Giroud, Burgundy

Description

The fruit here is both organic and biodynamic. The vines were planted in the early 1970s and the rows available run from the top to the bottom of the vineyard’s steep slope, offering the complete palette. The limestone base makes this a strong and fresh wine, and in Corton terms quite a delicate one: it’s finesse over power. Drink 2027-2042.

Critics reviews

Neal Martin MW 92-94/100
The 2019 Corton Les Renards Grand Cru is 100% whole cluster with ”ridiculously low yields” of 11 hl/ha due to poor flowering and coulure. It has a fresh nose, quite peppery thanks to the stem addition, and nicely defined if needing a little more intensity. The palate is well balanced with crunchy black and red fruit and slightly chalky in texture, revealing a pleasant marine influence toward the finish. Lots of personality here, and it should age well.Neil Martin, Vinous.com

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
