Heritage
"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 meticulously selected to create the Château Corton Grancey. It is a wine produced only if the grapes are of perfect maturity; vintages judged inferior are systematically declassified.
