Goedhuis, December 2023
This is a fascinating white wine coming from two plots, one in Corton Bessandes and the other in Corton Chaumes below Charlemagne. Owing to a lack of Pinot vines at the nursery back in the 1970s, Corton Chaumes was planted with Chardonnay, and so a star was born. Coming from red soil, this is always quite a structured white wine, depth and profound earthy complexity.
Region
Corton
The Grands Crus of Corton, a red made from Pinot Noir, and Corton Charlemagne, a white made from Chardonnay are shared between Aloxe-Corton, Ladoix Serrigny and Pernand Vergelesses. The vines for both are planted on the hillsides underneath the plateau of Corton's woodland forest. The majorityof Pinot Noir is planted in the southern and eastern sector where the soil is naturally rich with red iron clay giving additional body and power. Overall, the wines from these areas tend to be fruit forward and fleshy with a balance of round edges and fine concentration.
