2015 Corton, Les Grèves, Grand Cru, Domaine des Croix, Burgundy

Very dense rich purple, this has a particularly backward nose, albeit with a sense of mineral crunch. There is undeniable weight in the mouth, leading to a powerful, gravelly finish. This will need more time in barrel and then a lot longer in bottle. Drink 2025-2040.

David Croix has used a small percentage of whole bunches this year which is unusual for him, but he likes this approach in years with darker, riper fruit. Yields were the same as in 2012, around 25 hl/ha. He began picking his reds on 7th September, bringing the whole crop in over just four days. The Corton vineyards, both planted with 50- to 60-year-old vines, provide a fascinating contrast in style.
