Presentation
Gateway to the Côte de Beaune from the north, the hill of Corton is shared among the villages of Ladoix-Serrigny, Aloxe-Corton and Pernand-Vergelesses and produces the two Grand Crus Corton (almost entirely red) and Corton-Charlemagne (white).
Facing southeast to southwest, the vineyards lie at altitudes of between 250 and 330 metres, forming an amphitheatre seen nowhere else in the Côte.
The "Renardes" Climat is located on the upper part of the slope and benefits from eastern-southeastern exposure.

Tasting
The opulence of Corton wines, which are often described as generous, is complemented by a sensation of freshness, due in part to the higher altitude of the appellation. The nose combines notes of red fruit (cherry, raspberry...) and spices with wilder scents (forest undergrowth, musk...). On the palate, this wine offers perfect harmony between power, roundness and delicateness, in addition to remarkable length.
Food pairings
