TASTING NOTES

Domaine Des Croix Les Greves Corton Grand Cru 2014 is a masterful expression of Burgundy’s prestigious Côte de Beaune terroir. Founded in 2005 by David Croix, the domaine has quickly established itself as a beacon of precision and elegance in Pinot Noir production. Meticulously farmed using organic practices, this wine reflects a commitment to authenticity and minimal intervention, allowing the unique characteristics of the Les Greves parcel on the iconic Corton hill to shine.

The vines, averaging 60 years old and rooted in limestone-rich soils blended with clay and marl, impart a firm structure and vibrant mineral tension to the wine. The 2014 vintage, known for its cool and classic style, delivers remarkable balance and clarity. In the glass, it reveals a translucent ruby color, inviting with an aromatic bouquet of redcurrant, cherry, crushed rose petals, and subtle notes of smoky earth and spice.

On the palate, this Corton Grand Cru is medium-bodied yet structured, featuring fine-grained tannins and lively acidity that culminate in a long, mineral-driven finish. Crafted with whole-cluster fermentation, native yeasts, and aged in carefully selected French oak barrels with minimal new oak influence, the wine maintains purity and finesse. It is a refined and cerebral Pinot Noir with excellent aging potential through 2032.

Perfectly suited to complement roasted duck, wild mushroom dishes, or hard cheeses, this wine offers a sophisticated pairing experience. Recognized by critics, it earned a notable 95 points from Roger Voss, underscoring its exceptional quality.

"This wine has a smoky character that gives an exotic touch to the red fruits. It comes from 60-year old vines that give concentration and dark tannins. As it ages, the wine will broaden and expand to convey opulence and richness."

"Here too the wood treatment is sufficiently deft as to avoid it fighting with the more prominently earthy and sauvage aromas of mostly dark berry fruit scents. As is usually this case this is a bigger and more robust Corton with its broad-shouldered flavors that possess excellent power and muscularity, all wrapped in serious, austere and built-to-age finale. Interestingly this is bigger and more powerful than the La Vigne au Saint but it's not necessarily more structured. Either way, patience, and lots of it, will be required in both cases. *Sweet spot*"

"Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, des Croix's 2014 Corton Grand Cru Grèves shows much better in bottle than it did from barrel. It has slightly darker fruit than the Corton-Pouget from Jadot tasted alongside, yet it is well defined with touches of iodine and violet emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, a fine line of acidity and plenty of freshness with a taut, mineral-driven finish that lingers in the mouth. This is a quality Corton Grand Cru from David Croix. Tasted September 2017."
