The wine region of Corton Grand Cru 'Hautes Mourottes'
Grand Cru climat of 1. 9 ha on Ladoix-Serrigny at the highest point of the Montagne de Corton (~360 m) — the highest-altitude Grand Cru on the hill. 100% Pinot Noir with an austere, firm profile in youth requiring ageing. East/north-east exposure on thin brown calcareous soils alternating Bathonian marls (170 Ma), very draining and infertile, stressing the vine.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Flint (smell of)
Mineral odour reminiscent of flint and flint heated during sharpening.
