Château Corton, Burgundy
The castle of Corton-André is emblematic of the Burgundy vineyard, with its enclosed and magnificent glazed tiles that overlook the vineyards of Aloxe-Corton. The seven-hectare vineyard extends over the prestigious appellations of Corton, Corton-Charlemagne, Meursault, Volnay and Pommard.
By acquiring the Château de Corton-André, renamed Château Corton C., the Frey family arrives in Burgundy by remaining loyal to the values of excellence that carry their property in the valley of the Rhône, the Domaines Paul Jaboulet Aîné, and their Bordeaux vineyards, the Château La Lagune.
"My father and I have been talking about Burgundy for a long time, with the desire to be present in all the great French terroirs. The Château Corton C. is a true jewel with its typical architecture and terroirs of exception, and even if we can imagine to acquire some more vines, we want the property to remain a jewel. The new cellar that we built allows us to develop a dozen hectares, no more, and in a logic of wine exclusively.” – Carline Frey, Winemaker
Bourgogne Chardonnay 2014
Vinification
This cuvée de Chardonnay from Pierre André is literally a regional appellation because the grapes that make it come from all over Burgundy. Indeed, half of the harvest comes from the Côte de Beaune with plots on Meursault and the two communes of Montrachet. There is then 45% from Mâconnais and 5% from Nuits-Saint-Georges. So we have many terroirs of Burgundy in this wine.
Tasting Notes
The vines are an average of 40 years and derive the best from hillsides dominated by limestone. The vinification and breeding takes place in stainless steel vats, for a Burgundy, fleshy, fleshy, mineral and well balanced.
