Harvest Hand picked
Located on the hill of the Corton Grand Crus at an altitude of 273 meters in an old stone quarry, the “Perrières” parcel of vines has a perfect south-easterly exposition. Our Cuverie Corton Grancey is embedded in this terroir. There are brown and red clay soils which produce a delicious and intense wine. The well-aged vines are managed in a traditional way by Domaine Louis Latour. Severe pruning allows a later harvest and ensures a good level of maturity and richness in the grapes.

Our Corton Grand Cru “Perrières” 2022 has a deep ruby colour. Its intense nose offers notes of nutmeg and cherry. The palate is full-bodied and sappy, with silky tannins. It reveals aromas of grilled hazelnut, liquorice and, once again, cherry. The finish is very persistent, almost saline.
