2023 Domaine des Croix Grand Cru Corton Les Grèves

The 2023 Domaine des Croix Corton Grand Cru Les Grèves is a powerful yet refined Grand Cru Burgundy from David Croix, one of Beaune’s most respected winemakers. Sourced from the southern slope of the Corton hill, this site is known for producing wines with depth, structure and remarkable longevity. The 2023 vintage has delivered greater fruit generosity than usual, while retaining the mineral tension and firm backbone that define this vineyard.

The nose reveals black cherry, wild blackberry, violet and subtle licorice notes, while the palate is concentrated and layered with dark berry fruit, spice and a distinctive mineral core. Fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity provide impressive structure, leading to a long, savoury and beautifully balanced finish. Critics have praised the vintage for its combination of fruit volume, freshness and ageing potential.

Ben’s Recommendation:
A serious Grand Cru Burgundy with power, precision and exceptional cellaring potential. Perfect with duck, venison, roast beef, truffle dishes or game meats. Enjoy from 2028 onwards, or cellar confidently through 2045+ as it develops greater complexity and finesse.
