Corton Grand Cru Les Renardes° André Françoise, 2018

Corton Grand Cru Les Renardes from André Françoise is a serious Bourgogne red that speaks to one of the Côte de Beaune’s most prestigious vineyard sites. The 2018 vintage brings generous ripeness and depth, while the Grand Cru status promises structure, complexity, and excellent aging potential.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep ruby colour with an inviting sheen in the glass. On the nose, this wine typically shows layered aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, dried rose petal, forest floor, and subtle spice, with earthy mineral notes that reflect its Grand Cru origin. The palate is usually both powerful and refined, combining ripe red and black fruit with firm but polished tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, savoury finish. In a vintage like 2018, the fruit profile is likely more open and generous, while the wine’s structure suggests it can develop beautifully over many years, gaining complexity with time in bottle.

Production
Les Renardes is one of the well-regarded climat sites within Corton, known for producing wines with depth, concentration, and a distinctive mineral edge. The terroir of Corton’s limestone and marl slopes contributes to the wine’s tension and longevity, while careful harvesting and gentle vinification help preserve purity of fruit and site expression.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for roast duck, braised beef, game birds, wild mushroom dishes, or aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromas and tannins to open fully.
