Corton Grand Cru: Exceptional Red Wine from Côte de Beaune

Discover Corton Grand Cru

Corton Grand Cru is one of the most iconic crus of Burgundy, renowned as the only red Grand Cru from the Côte de Beaune. Located on the famous Corton hill, between the villages of Aloxe-Corton, Ladoix-Serrigny and Pernand-Vergelesses, this prestigious terroir produces wines of rare nobility, combining power, complexity and longevity.

Terroir and Characteristics

The Corton Grand Cru wines are made exclusively from the Pinot Noir grape variety. The terroir consists of a limestone and clay-marl soil, featuring a mosaic of renowned climats such as "Les Bressandes", "Le Clos du Roi", "Les Perrières" or "Les Renardes". Each plot expresses subtle differences while retaining the distinctive imprint of the Corton hill.

Wine Profile

Corton red wines are characterized by a deep color and complex aromas blending notes of dark fruits, violet, sweet spices, undergrowth and sometimes truffle. On the palate, these wines are structured, rich and full-bodied, with firm tannins and pleasant freshness. Their aging potential is exceptional, with some vintages capable of maturing for several decades and developing refined tertiary aromas.

Food Pairings

Corton Grand Cru pairs perfectly with gourmet dishes such as roasted red meats, game, rich sauces, or matured cheeses like Époisses or well-aged Comté. These pairings highlight the richness and complexity of this prestigious wine.
