"Grancey" was the name of the last owners of the château situated on the road of Corton, before the Latour family bought it in 1891. This wine, produced by Maison Louis Latour, is unique and exclusive. It is a blend of five areas of Domaine Latour Corton Grand Cru: Bressandes, Perrières, Grèves, Clos du Roi, and Chaumes, the proportions of which vary depending on the vintage. The average age of the vines is over 40 years. After aging individually, only the best barrels are assembled to create the Château Corton Grancey. It is a wine that is produced only if the grapes are of a perfect maturity, vintages judged inferior are systematically declassified.

The 2018 vintage is complex: fresh fruit aromas such as strawberry blend wonderfully with floral and tobacco notes. The taste is full and round with aromas of griotte cherry and liquorice. A powerful wine with silky tannins, superb aromatic depth and a good, long aftertaste on the palate.
