The Hill of Corton
Explore the Hill of Corton with us as we showcase the wines from the village of Aloxe-Corton and Perna n d-Vergelesses.
While Aloxe grabs the attention due to his hyphenation with Corton, Perna n d -Vergelesses, on the other side of the hill has a life of his own. Not only do they produce wines of good value, white wines of Pernand-Vergelesses are elegant and age-worthy.
The wines from Jean-Baptiste Boudier and Maison Morey-Blanc
The Morey family dates back to the sixteenth century and has been present in Meursault since 1793. From 1988 to July 2008, Pierre Morey was the manager of Domaine Leflaive. During this period, Pierre also managed his own domaine and his small négociant activity. From 1991, Pierre started using organic agricultural principles along with some biodynamic preparations in the vineyards. The domain became 100% biodynamic in 1997.
Domaine Jean-Baptiste Boudier is a relatively young name in Pernand-Vergelesses, simply because Jean-Baptiste’s inaugural solo vintage was 2015. He fully took control of the family domaine by 2017. He is a talented winemaker, crafting wines from 6.5h ha of vines around the hill of Corton. His holdings are in the communes of Aloxe – Corton, Pernand – Vergelesses and Savigny lès Beaune.

THE WINEs
Aloxe-Corton Blanc Les Combes
Domaine Jean-Baptiste Boudier 2022
The vines are planted in the northern part of this elongated climat under the Le Charlemagne and Les Chaumes grand cru plots. It is an early ripening sight. Similar to the fruits from Sous Frétilles, the harvest is always ripe but show more herbal characters. The little valley between Pernand & Aloxe acts as a protector against harsh weather condition. There is stone wall which warm the soil and help with maturity. It is a dry and powerful wine with wide shoulders. The domaine does a red Aloxe Corton from the same plot that is very good.

Pernand-Vergelesses Blanc
Domaine Jean-Baptiste Boudier 2022
This vineyard is planted on a white calcareous marl rich in limestone which brings freshness to the wine. It is aromatic with notes of ripe orchard fruits and hint of white flowers. White peach, apricot and sweet citrus dominate the elegant palate. The texture adds to the sapidity of this chardonnay. A good wine to have in the cellar.

Pernand-Vergelesses Blanc 1er Cru Sous Fretille
Domaine Jean-Baptiste Boudier 2022
This climat is relatively young; it gained its 1er Cru status in 1999-2000. It is exposed south and enjoy few extra hours of sun. It is behind the hill of Corton, benefitting of its shadow in the hot summer afternoons, while looking at the Corton Charlemagne vineyard. The harvest is always ripe. The palate is well structured showing aromas of peach, white flowers and a touch of toasted bread. Its volume reminds me of vinous champagne but with additional tension. It is rather serious.

Aloxe-Corton Les Vercots 1er Cru
Maison Morey-Blanc 2017
If you approach the hill of Corton from the direction of Beaune, Les Vercots lies between the Route Nationale and the back-road to Pernand-Vergelesses, just before you get to Corton-Charlemagne (this may or may not be helpful…) In any case, this has a lovely, lifted nose of fine rose petals and pretty red berry perfume. The palate has a concentrated, small-berried intensity of cranberry and raspberry, with insinuatingly fine, fruit-coated tannins channelling the fruit. This is labelled Morey Blanc, being made from vines over which Anne and Pierre Morey have a long-term lease. 2001 was the first vintage.

Pernand-Vergelesses Rouge 1er Cru Les Fichots
Domaine Jean-Baptiste Boudier 2022
The Les Fichots is a cool terroir with its clay and limestone content. It faces the hill of Corton to the east and sits in its shadow. Berries need more time to ripen and in return the wine shows great complexity and finesse. The palate is dominated by red fruit aromas, a nice minerality and a touch of smokiness. With some aeration, it reveals some racy herbal notes and sweet spice. The finish is long. It is a very good wine.
