100% Pinot Noir

Tasting notes

The Domaine Comte Senard Corton Grand Cru 'Clos des Meix Monopole' Red 2021 is a refined, medium-bodied Pinot Noir with a bright ruby color, fresh red fruit aromas, supple textures, layered notes of plum, violet, anise, and a long, balanced finish with subtle licorice and mineral undertones.

Bright, youthful ruby red. The nose is complex and fragrant, showing fresh red fruits, dark plum, violet, lilac, anise, and a subtle touch of forest floor.

The attack is supple and unctuous, leading into a medium-bodied profile with great volume, solid power, and vibrant energy, held together by well-balanced acidity and fine, refined tannins. The finish is long and persistent, leaving lingering impressions of spice, minerality, and soft licorice.

More About The Winery

Founded in 1857 by Jules Senard, Domaine Comte Senard is a historic Burgundy estate best known for its Corton-Clos des Meix Monopole, which became a Grand Cru vineyard in 1937 with the creation of the AOC. Over five generations, the domaine has expanded to encompass 22 acres of prestigious terroirs, including Corton-Clos du Roi, Corton-Bressandes, and Corton-Paulandes — jewels of the northern Côte de Beaune.

The wines of Corton are renowned for their depth, power, and longevity, and Domaine Comte Senard captures this essence with remarkable precision. Today, the estate is led by Lorraine Senard, who continues her family's tradition while bringing a fresh, modern vision. She practices sustainable, organic viticulture, hand-harvesting with meticulous sorting to preserve the integrity of the fruit.

In the cellar, winemaking respects tradition with a cold soak, gentle pressing, and temperature-controlled fermentation, followed by ageing in the domaine's 14th-century cellars built by Benedictine monks. The result is a range of wines that are seductive, structured, and built to age with grace, showcasing the full power and finesse of Corton's terroir.
