On the border between Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, leaning towards this side between 280 and 330 meters above sea level, lies Corton-Charlemagne. High and rounded on all three sides, the Montagne de Corton unites the villages of Aloxe-Corton and Pernand-Vergelesses. This vineyard was donated by Emperor Charlemagne in 775 to the collegiate church of Saint-Andoche in Saulieu. It would remain part of this heritage for a thousand years! Celebrating the emperor with the flowery beard to this day, Corton-Charlemagne brings together Climats Charlemagne and En Charlemagne, as well as a number of neighboring Climats that have been federated under this banner (the AOC Grand Cru dates from July 31, 1937).

Type

White

Serving temperature: 13°C
The breath, richness and distinction of Corton-Charlemagne indicate a remarkable acidity, perfectly controlled by a round opulence on the palate, which should be paired with noble, delicate dishes that are themselves powerful and aromatic.

Chanzy expert advice

Food & wine pairing

Natural candidates include foie gras, whose bitterness is framed by the wine's minerality and power, and, more traditionally, noble shellfish, whose delicately strong flesh creates a spectacular harmony: lobster, crayfish, crab... Poultry and veal in white sauce will also do it justice, as will blue cheeses.
