Domaine Corcia - Bourgogne "Les Cortechats" 2024

This Bourgogne Cortechats is fleshy and concentrated.

The estate previously known as Domaine de la Vieille Fontaine, was taken over at the beginning of 2021 by the Corcia family. Alain Corcia is a successful négociant based in Savigny les Beaune, specialising in the marketing of great Burgundy wines for over 35 years. Raphael, the youngest son, is the key driver for the takeover of the domaine and is in charge of both the work in the vineyard and in the cellar. Raphael burst onto the scene in the 2021 vintage, showing his skills through reimagining the method of cultivation for these vines through biodynamics.

With higher alcohol and a naturally concentrated feel from a small crop, the 2023 Bourgogne Les Cortechats delivers cherry and kirsch framed by a nutty nuance, yet it remains effortlessly sophisticated. Powdery, talc-like tannins provide a velvety architecture that matches the wine’s weight. Despite the concentration, the fruit stays remarkably airborne, moving across the palate without heaviness, expanding gently rather than pushing. Vinified with 50% whole clusters, it finishes poised, its power well restrained. 92 points - Kenna Wells, Wine Advocate.
