Terroirs
Details

This terroir has a strong identity that is harmoniously expressed in the wine. The strength of its clays lends a tannic, full-bodied texture. However, the soil is chalky and stony, producing a Pinot Noir that combines subtlety and complexity. This is surely what makes it one of the most renowned Climats on the Corton hillside, offering powerful wines with great ageing potential.

Vinification and aging

This Corton Grand Cru Les Renardes has been skilfully vinified by the Domaine des Hospices de Beaune. Sold every year at the Hospices auction on the 3rd Sunday in November, Albert Bichot regularly buys this great wine on behalf of clients who then entrust us with its ageing in our cellars. During this important period, thanks to meticulous work and the blending of a variety of barrels, we further develop its complexity and potential.

Le Domaine des Hospices de Beaune est certifié bio depuis la récolte 2024 et bien entendu nous élevons dans nos caves Albert Bichot ce vin en respectant cette philosophie respectueuse de l’environnement.
