Aloxe-Corton
Aloxe-Corton is a quaint little town with some prominent multi-colored roofs that sits at the bottom of the horseshoe-shaped Corton Grand Cru slopes. At the curve of the Southern tip of this famous horseshoe are the Grand Cru whites, including the Charlemagne vineyard – so named because Charlemagne apparently preferred this white wine since it didn’t stain his flowing white beard like red wine did.
On the steep eastern slopes of the horseshoe are the Grand Cru red vineyards. Therefore, this town is unique in all of Burgundy for being the only town that has both Grand Cru red wines as well as Grand Cru white wines.
We have 2 winemakers who produce wines from Corton. All of them are Grand Cru wines … and, of course, we have both red and white Grand Cru Corton wines.
