Corton Charlemagne is one of the rare white Grand crus of Burgundy. Located on the border of Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, our vines are planted on the famous Mount Corton and are orientated south-east on the parcel of vineyard called "Les Languettes". The brown limestone soil on marly limestone bedrock at an average altitude of 280 metres (920 Ft) provides the qualities of finesse which merge beautifully with the ampleness resulting from its exposure.

With an attractive pale golden robe embellished with green reflections, our Corton Charlemagne takes on more amber yellow shades with aging. Of infinite delicateness, the bouquet expresses buttery notes, oven-baked apple, citrus fruit, pineapple, limewood, juniper, cinnamon and flint. Hints of honey are also frequent. The concentration, distinction and balance of the chardonnay here is pleasantly surprising. The finale is complex and intense.

Savour this Grand Cru with shellfish such as lobster, crayfish or crab, fish as well as certian white meats, poultry cooked in cream and blue cheeses. The minerality and full-body of our Corton Charlemagne is particularly excellent with foie gras.

Serve at 12°C to 14°C. This wine will reach its potential after several years' ageing. Lay down for 7 to 10 years or more.
