Among the most prestigious great white wines of Burgundy, the Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru appellation is characterized by its location on the top of the Corton hill, straddling the 3 communes of Aloxe-Corton, Pernand-Vergelesses and Ladoix -Serrigny and its three different exhibitions. Corton-Charlemagne comes from a plot overlooking the village of Aloxe-Corton, very steep, made of clay and Oxfordian chalk and very drained by a high proportion of stony elements. The total production of this Corton-Charlemagne is 2200 hl.

This vine was offered by Emperor Charlemagne in 775 to the Saint-Andoche collegiate church in Saulieu. It will remain in this heritage for a thousand years. Still celebrating today the emperor with the flowery beard, Corton-Charlemagne brings together the “Charlemagne” and “En Charlemagne” climats as well as some neighboring and federated climats under this banner (the AOC Grand Cru dates from July 31, 1937) .

The ideal weather conditions in Burgundy in 2023, characterised by a favourable spring, a hot summer with cool nights, moderate rainfall and an early autumn harvest, played a key role in the high yields and exceptional quality of the grapes at harvest time.

The white wines are distinguished by their elegance, complexity and liveliness. Subtle aromas of white fruit, citrus and floral notes add to their remarkable freshness.

The red wines are powerful and well-balanced, with aromas of red and black fruit, as well as spicy and mineral nuances. The silky tannins add an elegant structure, promising harmonious ageing.

In short, these are expressive, fruity wines with very fine aromatic profiles.
