Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru, Domaine de Montille, 2023 - 300cl

Est. delivery in 2026

The 2023 vintage reflects a year of moderate warmth with consistent sunshine, leading to steady, well-paced ripening. Although temperatures weren’t extreme, the shift to warmer nights and milder days contributed to extended growing periods. This translated into wines that are strikingly fresh, with lower alcohol levels, vivid acidity, and vibrant character—brighter and more approachable compared to recent years.

"Certified organic since 1995 and biodynamic since 2005, this wine balances red currant and raspberry notes with cinnamon spice. One-third whole cluster and 40% new oak enhance its structure and tension. Aged for the long haul, this is a grand cru with significant aging potential."
Our note

Both red and white wines achieved impressive yields, the largest ever recorded for the estate, with terroir expression and balance shining through. For reds, comparisons to the 2017 vintage are apt, showcasing elegance and precision. Whites carry their hallmark freshness and minerality, further underscored by the decision to reduce the percentage of new oak due to the larger volumes produced.
