Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru (White)

Origine

This Grand Cru is exceptionally well located on the top of the Corton hill between Ladoix-Serrigny and Aloxe-Corton. South-east facing. Altitude 280 metres.

Vinification

After a light crushing, the grapes are transferred to the pneumatic press where they undergo a pressing that lasts around two and a half hours. The juice is then transferred to vats at a temperature of 8°C where it spends two days to eliminate the solids (settling).

35% of the wine is aged in new barrels for 14-18 months. Natural malolactic fermentation in barrel.

Notes de dégustation

This wine tends to show minerality and finesse. The well-crafted palate is impressively long and boasts the Montagne de Corton's legendary fat, buttery character.

Mets d'accompagnements

Bigger fish and perfectly cooked white meats.
