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.
