"Pale, bright yellow. Precise, vibrant nose combines ginger, medicinal herbs and fresh mint, with citrus fruits in the background. Offers a compelling combination of ripeness and energy, displaying great lift and penetration to the flavors of lemon, lime, crushed stone and minerals. Most impressive today on the rising, inexorable finish, which offers remarkable limey cut and clarity. Production here was a modest 35 hectoliters per hectare in 2012. "It's critical to control the yields in Corton-Charlemagne to make a wine of real grand cru quality," said winemaker Barnier. One of the superstars of the vintage."

Aloxe-Corton is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune, ringing the Corton hill and holding Premier Cru vineyards; it produces mostly firm, structured, earthy Pinot Noir reds built for medium-term aging.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
