The Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru from the Alvina Pernot estate is a great Burgundy white wine that is both powerful and refined. Grown on the iconic limestone soils of the Corton hill, this Chardonnay expresses aromas of white fruit, citrus and flowers, underpinned by intense minerality. The palate is full-bodied, straightforward and deep, with a long, salty finish.
The Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru from the Alvina Pernot estate comes from one of Burgundy's most prestigious terroirs, renowned for producing white wines with great ageing potential. The poor, chalky soils of the Corton hill give the Chardonnay a powerful structure, marked tension and remarkable ageing potential.
The grapes are harvested by hand and then gently pressed to preserve the purity of the juice and limit oxidation. Vinification is carried out with great precision, favouring natural fermentation and minimal intervention. Ageing in oak barrels is perfectly controlled, allowing the wine to gain complexity without masking the expression of the terroir.
On tasting, Corton-Charlemagne reveals an intense bouquet combining white fruits, citrus zest, floral notes and mineral nuances. The palate is full-bodied, structured and taut, carried by a persistent, salty finish. This grand cru from the Alvina Pernot estate is aimed at lovers of great Burgundy Chardonnays, capable of evolving magnificently over time.
Founded in 2018 in Puligny-Montrachet, the Alvina Pernot estate embodies a new generation of great Burgundy white wines. Granddaughter of Paul Pernot, Alvina Pernot and her husband Philippe produce precise and elegant vintages, focused on the freshness, tension and purity of Chardonnay. The wines express the limestone terroirs of Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault with finesse, with a limited and demanding production.
