Faiveley’s Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is the estate’s most emblematic white wine. They are proud to own 0.86 ha, adjacent to their Corton Clos des Cortons, Faiveley’s Grand Cru Monopole, since 1874. Their vines thrive and flourish in an elaborate patchwork of four parcels with diverse terroirs located in Le Corton and Le Rognet et Corton. The eastern soils of the appellation consist of clay, while the upper slopes are characterised by grey marl. This terroir produces deep, mineral wines. The altitude difference between the lowest (305 m) and highest (360 m) plots of Charlemagne creates subtle variations that contribute to the unique character of this Grand Cru.

Subtle aromas of fruit and flowers awaken the senses.

This Grand Cru seduces with its intense minerality, depth and considerable aromatic persistence. A wine that is beguiling and keeps you guessing, yet quickly lures you into a false sense of understanding. With every sip, you release you do not understand, rather you succumb to its beauty, power and seductive powers. A few years of cellaring will further enhance its complexity and most likely make you realise you still struggle to understand. But the pleasure far outweighs the confusion. A wine of beauty and grandeur that will always keep you guessing, a sign of true class. This wine deserves the right night, prepare your finest meal and invite that very special person in your life to enjoy this very special wine with. For the optimal drinking pleasure, the recommended serving temperature is 10-13 degrees.
