Corton Grevès Grand Cru AOC - Louis Jadot

The elegant Corton Grevès Grand Cru from Louis Jadot shines in the glass with a bright light red. When the wine glass is swirled, this red wine reveals a perfect balance, as it does not appear watery nor syrupy or liqueur-like on the sides of the glass. This varietal French wine reveals wonderfully expressive notes of sour cherries and strawberries in the glass. There are also hints of vanilla.

This wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor profile. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. As you would expect from an iconic wine in this segment, this French wine enchants, despite all its dryness, with the finest balance. Flavor does not necessarily need a lot of sugar. On the palate, the texture of this well-balanced red wine presents itself as wonderfully dense. The finish of this youthful red wine from the Burgundy wine-growing region, more precisely from the Côte de Beaune and Haute Côtes de Beaune, finally impresses with a remarkable length.

Vinification of the Corton Grevès Grand Cru from Louis Jadot

This balanced red wine from France is vinified from the Pinot Noir grape variety. Quite clearly, the Corton Grevès Grand Cru is also shaped by the climate and viticultural style of the Côte de Beaune and Haute Côtes de Beaune. This French wine can quite literally be described as an Old World wine that presents itself in an extraordinarily impressive manner. The grapes for this red wine from France are harvested exclusively by hand once optimal ripeness has been ensured. After hand-picking, the grapes are immediately brought to the press house. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in small wooden barrels at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the elegant Corton Grevès Grand Cru is aged for several months in oak barriques.
