The 2022 Domaine des Croix Grand Cru Corton Les Grèves is a beautifully powerful and finely structured Pinot Noir from one of the Côte de Beaune’s most historic Grand Cru terroirs. Produced by David Croix from the limestone-rich Les Grèves sector of Corton, the wine reflects a refined and terroir-focused philosophy that balances Grand Cru concentration with remarkable freshness and precision. The nose reveals black cherry, wild strawberry and dark raspberry layered alongside violet, forest floor, sweet spice and subtle smoky mineral notes, giving the wine impressive complexity and depth.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with finely detailed tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a tightly wound mineral core. Layers of dark berry fruit, savoury spice and delicate earthy complexity are balanced by chalky freshness and silky texture, finishing long, poised and beautifully persistent with outstanding structure and ageing potential. The warm but balanced 2022 vintage brings additional richness and concentration while preserving the wine’s hallmark tension and transparency, allowing the distinctive Corton terroir to emerge with clarity and finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2022 Domaine des Croix Grand Cru Corton Les Grèves is a superb Grand Cru Burgundy — structured, mineral and beautifully layered with exceptional depth and refinement. Perfect with roast duck, venison, truffle dishes, mushroom cuisine or refined game dishes. Enjoy now with extended decanting or cellar gracefully through 2048+.
