Corton Grand Cru Clos des Vergennes Cachat-Ocquidant 2017
The wine
Established for several generations at the foot of the Corton Hill, at the heart of the village of Ladoix Serrigny, the estate perpetuates its age-old savoir-faire with an undeniable focus on nature. The climat of Clos des Vergennes is unique in that it is surrounded by walls, and is the pride of the estate. The harvest is followed by traditional vinification. Following a fortnight’s fermentation and once the grapes have been pressed, the wine is aged in barrels, 40% of which are new, for around 11 months before being bottled.
The intense purple colour is enhanced by a full, expressive bouquet, combining aromas of blueberry and blackberry with notes of undergrowth, pepper and liquorice. The powerful, full-bodied palate reveals present, elegant tannins in a perfectly structured, velvety texture. The delicious, lingering finish promises several fine years of cellaring.
