Corton Charlemagne

APPELLATION D’ORIGINE CONTRÔLÉE

Grand Cru appellation in the Côte de Beaune, in Côte-d'Or. The production area for wines in the CORTON-CHARLEMAGNE appellation includes that of the CHARLEMAGNE appellation, which is currently no longer used on labels.

Communes producing wine:

CORTON-CHARLEMAGNE: Aloxe-Corton, Ladoix-Serrigny and PernandVergelesses.

CHARLEMAGNE: Aloxe-Corton and Pernand-Vergelesses. Certain plots, depending on whether they are planted with Pinot Noir or Chardonnay, can benefit, at the producer's choice, from either the CORTON appellation (red wines), or the CORTON-CHARLEMAGNE appellation (white wines).

On the label, the words GRAND CRU must appear immediately below the name of each of these appellations.
