Corton Grand Cru Les Renardes° André Françoise, 2017

Corton Grand Cru Les Renardes 2017 from André Françoise is a Burgundy red that brings together Grand Cru pedigree with the finesse and depth the region is known for. Sourced from one of Corton’s most respected climats, it offers a compelling expression of site, structure, and age-worthy character.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine typically shows a deep ruby hue with the kind of brightness and concentration that signal serious Burgundy. The nose can be expected to unfold with layers of red and dark berry fruit, subtle spice, earthy forest-floor notes, and a refined mineral edge. On the palate, it should feel poised and structured, with ripe fruit balanced by fresh acidity and firm but elegant tannins. The Grand Cru status suggests excellent aging potential, and in a vintage like 2017 it should continue to develop complexity over many years, gaining savory depth and silky texture with time.

Production
Les Renardes is one of the notable Grand Cru sites on the Corton hill in Burgundy, where varied slopes and limestone-rich soils help create wines with both power and detail. The grapes are typically harvested by hand to preserve fruit quality, and vinification in this style of Burgundy generally aims to highlight purity, terroir expression, and finesse through careful fermentation and ageing in oak.

Food & Serving
This wine is a natural match for roasted duck, game birds, beef fillet, mushroom dishes, and aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromas and structure to open up fully.

Producer
André Françoise is associated with classic Burgundy winemaking, where site expression and traditional craftsmanship are central. While detailed public information on the producer is limited, the name is linked with wines that reflect the elegance and seriousness of Bourgogne’s top vineyards, especially in prestigious appellations such as Corton Grand Cru.
