This Corton Les Grèves comes from a south-facing hillside (uncommon in the Côte), meaning that its opulence will need to be tamed carefully.

Description

David Croix was the winemaker at the famous Camille Giroud house in Beaune for nearly 15 years. In 2011 the business was bought by the American Ann Colgin, a winegrower at the top of the Napa Valley, with a financial backer. While working for Camille Giroud, in 2005 David Croix created his own impressive personal domain, with private capital from rich American wine enthusiasts, who gave him "carte blanche" as the director of the fledgling Croix domain. The domain's parcels were concentrated around Beaune, with numerous premiers crus, but also the neighbouring appellations of Corton and Corton-Charlemagne. Although not certified, his wines are close today to the greatest organic names and his microcuvées sell like hot cakes around the world.

domaine des croix

Rarely mentioned in wine guides, domaine des croix might be the best-kept secret of the côte d’or. Founded in 2005, following the acquisition of the former Domaine Duchet by a group of US-led investors, the domaine can be found in the heart of the town of Beaune, and led by the dynamic co-owner David Croix, also the régisseur for Maison Camille Giroud.Croix produces wines that defy one’s conception of what is Beaune. The appellation’s production is largely under the control of large negociants, but Croix shows what attention to detail can achieve. His Pertuisots, Grèves and Bressandes show a body and texture rarely found in the AOC’s usual premiers crus. With four premier crus from Beaune to their name, as well as a village cuvée, Domaine des Croix is setting new standards for the appellation.
