Burgundy

The Corton covers around 160 hectares of Grand Cru appellations, offering a unique variety of "Climats" that stretch along the ridge with orientations from southwest to east at elevations of 250 - 330 meters. In the middle and lower slopes, reddish-brown, well-stony limestone soils produce red wines of opulence and exceptional character, often needing several years of bottle aging to fully blossom. The Clos des Vergennes, solely owned by Domaine Cachat-Ocquidant, adjoins the famous Corton-Bressandes on the eastern side within the Ladoix commune and is considered one of Burgundy's insider tips.

The bouquet reveals an expansive richness of blueberries, dark cherries, plums, and violets. With increasing bottle age, the complexity continues to grow, developing additional hints of undergrowth, leather, black pepper, and licorice, as well as distinctly meaty notes. These are powerful, full-bodied, and densely woven wines with confident tannin structure and a mineral backbone, requiring several years of aging before opening up into overwhelming personalities. Very good with roast venison or wild duck.

Cachat-Ocquidant

The Domaine Cachat-Ocquidant, now run by Jean Marc Cachat, is located in the village of Ladoix at the foot of the famous Corton mountain.

In addition to mainly red wines, some truly very interesting white wines are produced in smaller quantities, which are often referred to as insider tips by sommeliers. For a long time, Jean Marc tended the parcels of Coche-Dury at the legendary Corton and also assisted in the vinification of the wines at Coche. Thus, they always show a mineral appellation character with contemporary vinification and a lot of finesse in the use of wood.

However, the core competence of the Domaine is clearly in the fine-spicy red wines from Ladoix, Aloxe, Savigny, and Chorey. The monopole of the Corton Clos des Vergennes has been one of the most reliable wines from this Grand Cru site for many years. Jean-Marc Cachat's wine from this parcel has elegance, character, a mineral core, and remarkable depth.
