ALBERT BICHOT CORTON GRAND CRU 'COLS DES MARECHAUDES' 2022

The 2022 Corton Grand Cru "Clos des Maréchaudes" is an exclusive monopole cuvée from Domaine du Pavillon, owned by Albert Bichot. This 0.55-hectare vineyard, located in Aloxe-Corton, is distinguished by its east-southeast exposure and calcareous soils on clay rubble, which favors early grape ripening. The vines, between 40 and 50 years old, produce high-quality grapes that are hand-picked and fermented in thermo-regulated wooden vats for 18 to 21 days. The wine ages for 16 to 18 months in oak barrels, with 35-45% new barrels, giving it remarkable structure and complexity.
