2010 Corton Clos Du Roi Grand Cru Pousse d'Or (Case - 12/75cl)

Area under vine: 1,45 hectare. Sun exposure: East. Soil: Clay-limestone. Grape varieties: 100% Pinot Noir. Winemaking: The grapes are handpicked, then sorted in the cellar and completely destemmed. They are then cold-macerated for 7 days and fermented under temperature-controlled conditions. The cap is punched twice a day, and the wine stays on the skins for a total of 21 days. Ageing: The wine is aged on the lees in oak barrels (30% new) for 18 months. Malolactic fermentation tends to take place fairly late, and the wine is clarified naturally without fining or filtration.
