The wine region of Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
Emblematic white Grand Cru in the north of the Côte de Beaune on the Corton hill: 100% Chardonnay over 70 ha — powerful whites with pale gold robe, green then amber glints. Complex nose of white flowers (acacia, hawthorn), baked apple, lime blossom and cinnamon, evolving to hazelnut, honey and chiselled minerality. Concentrated palate with great structure, austere mineral tension when young calling for 10-15 years in the cellar. Among the world's greatest Chardonnays.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Cryo-extraction
This technique was very popular at the end of the 80's in Sauternes, a little less so now. The grapes are frozen before pressing, and the water transformed into ice remains in the marc, only the sugar flows out. As with the concentrators, the "cryo" can also increase bad taste and greenness.
