Corton-Charlemagne

Grand Cru

Our Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is the estate’s most emblematic white wine. We are proud to own these 0.86 ha, adjacent to our Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru Monopole, since 1874. Our vines thrive and flourish in an elaborate patchwork of four parcels with diverse terroirs located in Le Corton and Le Rognet et Corton. The eastern soils of the appellation consist of clay, while the upper slopes are characterised by grey marl. This terroir produces deep, mineral wines. The altitude difference between the lowest (305 m) and highest (360 m) plots of Charlemagne creates subtle variations that contribute to the unique character of this Grand Cru.

TASTING

Subtle aromas of fruit and flowers awaken the senses. This Grand Cru seduces with its intense minerality, depth and considerable aromatic persistence. A few years of cellaring will further enhance its complexity.
