About this wine

Domaine Faiveley's Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru stands as a benchmark expression of white Burgundy, sourced from one of the region's most prestigious appellations. This Chardonnay-based wine captures the essence of its terroir, a south-facing slope with limestone-rich soils that impart mineral precision and concentration. Faiveley's meticulous viticulture and traditional winemaking philosophy result in a well-balanced white of remarkable complexity and aging potential.

The wine displays the characteristic full-bodied structure and citrus and green fruit notes that define quality Corton-Charlemagne. Its racy acidity and concentrated profile make it extraordinarily versatile at the table. Pair it with shellfish, lobster, or fresh crab; it equally complements creamy dishes, mushroom-based preparations, chicken, and hard cheeses. The wine's aromatic profile also suits fresh herbs and bright vegetable-forward cuisine.

Domaine Faiveley represents five centuries of winemaking excellence in Burgundy, combining respect for heritage with modern quality standards. Their Grand Cru selections are sought by collectors and fine dining establishments worldwide, offering the sophistication demanded by those who appreciate authentic, terroir-driven white wines.
