This Corton-Charlemagne opens with intense aromas of lemon zest, white peach, and green apple layered with notes of hazelnut, flint, and subtle brioche. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet remarkably precise, offering concentrated citrus and orchard fruit supported by vibrant acidity. A powerful mineral backbone provides structure and tension. Integrated oak adds depth and texture without overwhelming the fruit. The finish is exceptionally long, layered, and age-worthy with lingering saline and nutty nuances.

The Estate

Maison Louis Latour is one of Burgundy’s most historic and prestigious houses, founded in 1797 and still family owned. The family owns significant Grand Cru parcels on the Corton hill, including Corton-Charlemagne, one of the Côte de Beaune’s most revered white wine sites. This bottling represents the pinnacle of the house’s Chardonnay production and reflects classic Burgundian precision and longevity.

Wine Making

Chardonnay grapes are sourced from Grand Cru parcels on the Corton hill, planted on limestone-rich soils that contribute structure and minerality. Fermentation and aging take place in French oak barrels, with a portion of new oak to enhance complexity. Lees stirring builds texture while preserving tension. The wine is crafted for long-term cellaring, with a winemaking approach that emphasizes precision, balance, and terroir expression.

Food Suggestions

This Grand Cru Chardonnay pairs beautifully with lobster, scallops, and fine seafood preparations. It also complements veal, poultry with cream sauces, and truffle-infused dishes. An exceptional choice for high-end dining programs and special-occasion service.
