The Prestigious Vineyards of Corton Grand Cru
The Corton Grand Cru vineyard is a jewel of the Côte de Beaune, known for its grandeur and ability to produce some of the finest Pinot Noir wines in the world. Situated on the iconic hill of Corton, this vineyard spans several villages and climats, each contributing to the wine’s complex character. The clay-rich marl soils and varied exposures are ideal for cultivating Pinot Noir, delivering wines with unparalleled structure and aromatic depth.
Vinification with Passion and Precision
In the cellar, Edouard Delaunay Corton Grand Cru undergoes an artisanal winemaking process designed to capture the essence of its terroir. Grapes are handpicked at optimal ripeness, with a careful selection process ensuring only the finest fruit is used. The entire harvest is destemmed, and indigenous yeast fermentation takes place, bringing out the purity and elegance inherent in the wine.
This exceptional wine is aged in French oak barrels for 14-18 months, with a significant proportion of new oak imparting subtle notes of toast and spice. The oak regimen, sourced from celebrated forests, enhances the wine’s natural flavors without overshadowing them, allowing the true personality of the Corton Grand Cru appellation to shine through.
