The commune of Aloxe-Corton has the unusual distinction of having over half its area covered in Grand Cru vineyards. The Corton Grands Crus are situated on the famous "Rognon de Corton". They have an exposure ranging from East to South and Southwest.
The Grand Cru is a powerful wine with a structure similar to Côte de Nuits wines. The vineyard orientation allows to elaborate a wine with silky tannins and harmonious acidity. Les Grèves is a Southeast exposure vineyard based on a siliceous soil. This gives power and delicacy to the wine.
This exceptional site yields a powerful and delicate wine, with a deep color and powerful aromas of little red fruits and spicy notes. Its silky tannins and perfect structure will allow a good aging.
The red wines will complement fine dishes like meat in a highly-seasoned sauce, game, and most cheeses. This wine should not be drunk before 5 years and will certainly improve until 15 to 20 years.
