Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru

Sustainable
    • Description :

      The Corton Charlemagne appellation occupies the highest portion of the Hill of Corton where the gradients are steep (20-23%), almost on the border between the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune, and at altitudes between 280 and 330 meters. Much of the Corton- Charlemagne appellation faces south-west (which is uncommon in these parts). The Hill of Corton, high and rounded, has vineyards on three sides corresponding to the three villages of Aloxe-Corton, Pernand-Vergelesses and Ladoix-Serrigny.
