Corton-Pougets Grand Cru 2018
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
In the commune of Aloxe-Corton, in the northern end of the Côte de Beaune, more than half of the vineyard area is Grand Cru vineyards. The Grand Cru vineyard of Les Pougets is adjacent to Le Charlemagne on the mid- and upper slope on varied soils of chalk and iron-rich marl. The Pinot Noir grapes are fermented in vats for up to 4 weeks, and then the wine is matured for 18 to 20 months in oak barrels.
Harvest Note
This was a very warm and dry vintage with a few violent storms. Production volumes were reduced, however quality within the red wines is very high.
Tasting Note
Full-bodied with forward ripe red berry fruit and hints of damp clay and mossy forest floor notes.

About the Grape
Pinot Noir
In France, makes a silky, deceptively powerful wine of elegant, complex aromas and subtle, red fruit flavors, with earthy, floral, mushroom and mineral notes. In California, shows ripe, sweet characters.
