TASTING NOTES
Corton-Charlemagne is the largest of the Grand Cru white wines of the Côte de Beaune, located north of the town of Beaune. It is situated on the upper part of the southern side of the Corton hill and is produced from grapes grown on the En Charlemagne soil, occupying 17 hectares between Pernand-Vergelesses and Aloxe-Corton. The vines are cultivated on clay and marl soils with an optimal west-south-west exposure. After being selected in the vineyard, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented with natural yeasts in barrels. The wine matures in wood for 14 months, with 50% new oak from the Vosges and Allier forests. In the glass, it has a golden yellow colour and an elegant aroma of oak, white pepper, brioche, toasted almonds, candied fruit and floral notes of rose. In the mouth, the wine is characterised by roundness, depth and sweetness, which are balanced by a fresh citrus acidity, with hints of aniseed and a subtle essence of iodine. The palate offers fullness, volume and freshness, creating a balanced and pleasant experience.
