Domaine des Croix Corton la Vigne au Saint Grand Cru 2020

Domaine des Croix Corton La Vigne au Saint 2020 is a rare red Burgundy from one of the Côte de Beaune’s prestigious Grand Cru vineyards. Made exclusively from Pinot Noir, it combines the elegance associated with Domaine des Croix with the depth, structure and ageing potential of Corton’s exceptional limestone slopes. The 2020 vintage is particularly expressive, balancing generous ripe fruit with freshness and refined tannins.

Tasting Notes
The wine has a deep ruby colour with youthful purple highlights. On the nose, it opens with aromas of black cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, followed by notes of violet, forest floor, spice and subtle earthy nuances. The palate is concentrated yet poised, offering layers of dark fruit, fine-grained tannins and a lively mineral freshness. A long, savoury finish reveals hints of liquorice, subtle oak and spice. Although approachable with decanting, this Grand Cru should develop additional complexity over the next 10–20 years under suitable cellar conditions.

Production
Corton La Vigne au Saint is situated on the slopes of the Corton hill, where limestone-rich soils and a favourable exposition provide Pinot Noir with both intensity and structure. Domaine des Croix is known for careful vineyard work and low-intervention winemaking that seeks to preserve the character of each climat. The grapes are harvested by hand and vinified with a gentle extraction, followed by maturation in French oak. The exact proportion of whole clusters and new oak may vary by vintage, but the aim is to produce a precise, balanced wine that reflects its Grand Cru origin rather than masking it with wood.

Food & Serving
Serve at approximately 16–18°C. Decanting for one to two hours is recommended when enjoying the wine in its youth, while older bottles are best opened carefully and given only a brief period to breathe. Its depth and freshness make it an excellent partner for roast duck, game birds, venison, beef tenderloin, mushroom dishes and refined preparations featuring truffle or wild herbs.

Producer
Domaine des Croix is a relatively young but highly regarded estate based in Beaune, with a portfolio of vineyards spanning several important appellations in the Côte de Beaune. Founded in the 2000s, the domaine has established a reputation for producing refined, terroir-driven Pinot Noir with a clear sense of place. Its holdings include wines from prestigious sites around Beaune, Aloxe-Corton and Corton, and its restrained, detail-focused style has made Domaine des Croix an increasingly respected name in Burgundy.
