Product Description
Corton-Charlemagne's powerful bouquet, its richness and distinguished character present a remarkable acidity, perfectly controlled by a well-rounded opulence on the palate, that should be paired with noble, delicate dishes, which are also powerful and aromatic. Natural candidates would be foie gras, whose slight bitterness will be framed by the wine's minerality and power, or, more classically, crustaceans, such as lobster, crayfish or crab, whose delicate yet flavourful flesh produces a spectacular harmony... Poultry and veal in white sauce also make a delicious combination, as do blue cheeses. Serving temperatures: 12 to 14°C.

Product details
APPELLATION D’ORIGINE CONTRÔLÉE
Grand Cru appellation in the Côte de Beaune, in Côte-d'Or. The production area for wines in the CORTON-CHARLEMAGNE appellation includes that of the CHARLEMAGNE appellation, which is currently no longer used on labels.
Communes producing wine:
CORTON-CHARLEMAGNE: Aloxe-Corton, Ladoix-Serrigny and PernandVergelesses.
CHARLEMAGNE: Aloxe-Corton and Pernand-Vergelesses. Certain plots, depending on whether they are planted with Pinot Noir or Chardonnay, can benefit, at the producer's choice, from either the CORTON appellation (red wines), or the CORTON-CHARLEMAGNE appellation (white wines).
On the label, the words GRAND CRU must appear immediately below the name of each of these appellations.
