CORTON GRAND CRU WHITE WINE 2022 (Domaine Maillard)

PLANTING DATE: N/A.

LOCATION: Lieu-dit Les Renardes. Although this "climat" is historically and mostly famous for its powerful red wines, Domaine Maillard owns a small 34-are plot planted with Chardonnay. Regulations do not allow the lieu-dit to be mentioned on the label for white Corton wines.

EXPOSURE: East.

TERROIR : This terroir, which also produces red Cortons, consists of brown limestone soils relatively rich in clay, dating from the MIDDLE OXFORDIAN (Upper Jurassic). it gives the white wine a remarkable structure and mineral complexity.

"A beautiful golden wheat color, with an intense and fragrant nose exuding aromas of mandarin, pink grapefruit, roasted almond, and white flowers. On the palate, the texture is supple, developing a long finish with notes of lemon and verbena. A truly great wine!"
