Domaine de Montille Corton Clos du Roi

The appellation
The hill of Corton's perfect curves produce the only red grand crus of the Côte de Beaune. The finest of all the Corton wines, the ""Clos du Roi"", is exposed on the south-eastern side of the hill, mid-slope and benefits from top quality clay-limestone soils. Our plot is located just above the path which separates “les Bressandes” from “Clos du Roi”.

The wine and the style
Today's style remains faithful to Hubert's classic and terroir-driven approach, with greater aromatic expression, silkier and more unctuous textures in the reds, allowing them to drink earlier, without compromising their ability to age. The domaine is known in Burgundy for using a significant proportion of whole clusters that varies from one to cuvée to another depending on the plant material and the vintage.

Vine growing
Organic since 1995 and biodynamic since 2005. All our wines are certified by Ecocert.

Tasting note
The Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru matures in 50% new oak with two-thirds whole cluster fruit. It has a very attractive and detailed bouquet with wild strawberry, raspberry, freshly tilled loam and autumn leaf aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, a little chewy on the mid-palate with good substance. This is a solid, though not muscular Corton with fine grip and impressive density on the finish. This should offer long-term pleasure.
