Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru

Grape variety

Chardonnay

Origin

The vineyard is located in the north of the Côte de Beaune, between the villages of Aloxe-Corton and Ladoix-Serrigny, on the heights of the mythical mountain
of Corton.

Soil

Stony sloping ground consisting of reddish brown limestone, rich in marl with a high potassium content.

Vinification

Harvest by hand. Traditional vinification. The grapes are pressed immediately upon arrival at the winery in pneumatic presses. The alcoholic fermentation is carried
out in oak barrels, 50% new oak. The wine is aged for 18 months in oak barrels with regular stirring to gain depth and complexity.

Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru

sensory characteristic

Colour

Pale golden color which changes shade over time.

Nose

The nose has a great aromatic complexity that gains strength with aeration: candied orange, hawthorn, hazelnut, hot brioche...

Palate

These greedy and generous flavors on the palate, alongside a nice acid characteristic of the vintage frame provide great length in the mouth and a good aging potential.

Recommendations

The delicacy of this wine combines perfectly with foie gras, noble shellfish such as lobster, crab. Poultry and veal in white sauce also pair well. Cheeses with a light
taste (Camembert, Brie, Blue cheese, Goat cheese, Gruyere...).
