The Story

Flanked by the grand cru Corton-Rognet and the great Ladoix premier cru Le Bois Roussot, Les Carrières offers striking complexity for a village-level wine. Its particularly stony, gravelly soils provide excellent drainage and promote vigorous acidity in its wines—a feature which nicely offsets the wine’s spice-driven, black-cherry fruit and smoky intensity. It’s grace can be deceptive as there is plenty of backbone: the tannins are notably well-buffered, but the structure asserts itself on the palate.

About Dom Edmond Cornu

Producer Story

The Cornu family settled in the town of Ladoix in 1870 and established the domaine in 1875. Edmond Cornu assumed command of the estate in 1956 and in 1959 began to bottle the fruits of his labor. Up to that time all wines made at the estate had been sold to negociants. As the private clientele increased, Cornu also expanded the domaine. With the ascension of his son, Pierre, to full participation in the domaine, this dynamic family has aggressively pursued additional opportunities to acquire prime vineyard sites. Having expanded the domaine, Pierre is now joined by his cousin, Emmanuel Boireau, in supervising the vineyard and cellar work.
