Corton Grand Cru

Corton Grand Cru

Location

Entrance to the Côte de Beaune from the north, the hill of Corton brings together the villages of Ladoix-Serrigny, Aloxe-Corton, and Pernand-Vergelesses and is home to the Grand Crus Corton (almost exclusively red) and Corton-Charlemagne (white). The south-east to south-west facing vineyard is situated between 250 and 330 meters above sea level, forming an amphitheater unlike any other in the Côte.
