Corton: Burgundy Grand Cru Reds and Whites

Discover Corton Wines

The Corton appellation, located in the Côte de Beaune region of Burgundy, is one of the rare Grand Cru areas producing both exceptional red wines and white wines. The reds are primarily made from the Pinot Noir grape, while the whites are mainly crafted from Chardonnay, offering powerful, elegant wines with remarkable aging potential.

Terroir and Characteristics

The Corton vineyards span well-exposed slopes with mineral-rich clay-limestone soils. This unique terroir promotes slow, balanced ripening of the grapes, contributing to the wine's aromatic richness and finesse. The presence of rolled pebbles and the temperate climate play a key role in expressing the typical terroir, endowing the wines with a strong structure and aromatic complexity.

Wine Profile

Corton red wines are characterized by a deep color and intense aromas of red and black fruits, spices, and forest floor notes. Their tannic structure is powerful yet elegant, allowing harmonious aging. Corton white wines exhibit a bright golden hue with a complex bouquet of white flowers, yellow-flesh fruits, buttery and mineral notes. All these wines are known for their length on the palate and perfect balance.

Food Pairings

Corton wines pair beautifully with refined cuisine. Reds enhance game meats, red meats in sauce, and poultry, while whites are ideal with fine fish and aged cheeses such as Époisses or aged Comté.
