Corton-Charlemagne


A Chardonnay grand cru produced high on the upper slopes of the Corton hill, above the red Corton vineyards. Its brown limestone marls and favourable exposure yield a powerful, structured white capable of long ageing, its name evoking the legend of Emperor Charlemagne. It ranks among the benchmark Chardonnays offered in prestige wine service.
