Description
Corton-Charlemagne is the only vineyard in Burgundy bearing the name of two emperors: "Corton" comes from the Gallo-Roman Curtis d'Othon, meaning the Domaine of Othon, a German emperor. It gave the word Courthon, which became Corton. Famous emperor Charlemagne (Carolus Magnus) was, according to legend, the owner of the vineyard.
Tasting
"One of the greatest wines of Burgundy, to be tasted with awe and reverence.
It has an intense golden hue.
On the nose, there are some subtle tones of rose, fresh almond, citrus, honey, exotic wood and spice.
Majestic and well balanced on the palate. Generous and lively at the same time. Intense and complex aftertaste. All the aromas mingle and linger for quite a long time afterwards. A wine of undeniable majesty".
