PRE ARRIVAL 2022 PYCM Hospice de Beaune Corton Blanc Cuvée Doctor Peste 750ml

Due early 2026

2022 was a very successful vintage for the Hospice, and chief winemaker, the talented and erudite Ludivine Griveau says she is impressed with the fruit and the tannins in the powerful 22 whites.
Being recognised and purchased in new barrels, and then raised by Pierre Yves Colin makes this a benchmark white.
The Cuvée Docter Peste Corton Blanc, starting in 2022, comes exclusively from Corton Les Chaumes , which is situated above Corton Le Vigne au Saint and Clos de Cortons. The plot was orivinally pinot, but due to the limestone content was replanted over a decade ago to chardonnay. This is in the section on Les Chaumes directly below and close to Le Charlemange. This is “cheap” for a grand cru of such lineage and winemaking talent!
