Corton-Charlemagne, Grand Cru vineyard in Côte de Beaune, France
The vineyard stretches across the upper portion of Montagne de Corton hill, covering 66 hectares of limestone-rich soil at elevations up to 345 meters.
Emperor Charlemagne owned this land in the 8th century and donated most of the hill to the Abbey of St. Andoche in Saulieu in 775.
The vineyard received its Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée status in 1937, establishing strict regulations for wine production methods and grape varieties.
Corton-Charlemagne produces approximately 300,000 bottles annually, with Chardonnay and up to ten percent Pinot Blanc permitted in the vineyards.
The dense woodland at the hilltop creates a specific microclimate that influences the mineral character of wines from the western slopes.
