Pierre-Olivier Garcia Corton Grand Cru Les Maréchaudes 2024
£227.25
The wine
Les Maréchaudes is a grand cru climat on the Corton hill, the only red grand cru of the Côte de Beaune, sitting on the lower eastern slope above Aloxe-Corton.
Young Corton is famously closed and rewards a decade or more in bottle. Vinification follows the estate approach of combining whole clusters, berry-by-berry fermentation and destemmed fruit in proportions judged by the vintage. Pierre-Olivier and Ana Garcia farm with an eye on biodiversity rather than monoculture, experimenting with cereals, ploughing and planting between the rows.
The producer
Pierre-Olivier Garcia
View all Pierre-Olivier Garcia winesPierre-Olivier Garcia is one of the brightest young talents in Burgundy, a rising grower and micro-negociant based in the Côte de Nuits. In a short time his wines have won critical acclaim for their purity, energy and impressive value.
Working from carefully chosen parcels across the Côte d Or and beyond, Garcia farms and selects with obsessive attention to detail, favouring whole-bunch ferments and restrained oak. The aim is transparency, letting each terroir shine.
The range is unusually broad and rewarding, from serious single-lieu-dit Aligoté and charming Cru Beaujolais to village Marsannay and Nuits-Saint-Georges and on to Grand Cru Corton, each finely drawn and expressive.
Precise, fragrant and quietly ambitious, Pierre-Olivier Garcia is a name to watch, and to drink, as modern Burgundy finds its future.
