Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru 2017 — Hubert de Montille
This Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru 2017 from Domaine Hubert de Montille expresses the noble depth, precision and limestone strength of one of the most prestigious climats on the hill of Corton. A great red Burgundy of structure and refinement, it combines the natural power of a Grand Cru with the freshness and elegance of the 2017 vintage.
Built around pure Pinot Noir fruit, fine tannins and a long mineral persistence, this wine reveals notes of black cherry, Morello cherry, fresh raspberry, fine cassis, old rose, violet, delicate spices, black tea, noble earth and warm stone. It is a wine of poise and ageing potential, already impressive after measured aeration, yet destined to gain further complexity over time.
The spirit of the wine
A distinguished Corton Grand Cru: structured, precise and profoundly Burgundian. The 2017 vintage brings freshness, aromatic clarity and silky texture, while the Clos du Roi terroir contributes depth, mineral tension and a firm, noble frame. The result is a refined Pinot Noir with controlled power, elegant fruit and a long, saline finish.
Terroir: Clos du Roi, limestone power and Corton nobility
The Clos du Roi climat is one of the historic Grand Cru terroirs of Corton, renowned for producing Pinot Noir with depth, structure and remarkable longevity. Its limestone, marl and stony soils give wines of firm architecture, mineral freshness and long persistence.
In the hands of Domaine Hubert de Montille, this terroir is interpreted with precision and classical elegance. The wine favours balance over excess: pure fruit, fine tannins, vertical freshness and a noble earthy dimension that will become more expressive with age.
