Corton-Charlemagne is a grand cru vineyard located in Côte de Beaune (Côte-d’Or) wine region of Burgundy. The region produced Chardonnay-based white wines that are characterized by their pale gold to amber color and an aromatic combination of fruit and herbal aromas such as buttery baked apples or pears, pineapple, cinnamon, flint, citrus, bracken, juniper, or lime.
With age, the wines tend to display more complex nuances of truffles, pepper, leather, and exotic fruit. Because of their well-structured minerality, these prized wines are an excellent match to crustaceans, foie gras, fish or white meat served in creamy sauces, mushrooms, scallops, and soft-centered cheese varieties.
