Description

Thes two grand cru vineyards Corton and Corton-Charlemagne lie astride three villages at the northern end of the Côte de Beaune - Ladoix, Aloxe-Corton and Pernand Vergelesses. The main body of the hill of Corton faces due south, with an extended flank exposed to the east, and another facing westwards.

The Emperor Charlemagne owned vines here in the eight century, and legend has it that his wife insisted he planted white grapes so as not to spill red wine down his beard and clothes. Corton Charlemagne is always white and there is also a theoretical grand cru appellation called just Charlemagne, which is never used. Corton is almost entirely red but there are a few white wines too!

1978 Vintage Report from BBR -
A high quality vintage that produced a small crop of classically structured wines that have aged marvellously well. Spring was very cold and this delayed the flowering. Temperatures remained below average through to the 20th August when the weather turned and there followed 6 weeks of almost permanent sunshine.

Not surprisingly the harvest was late (not starting until mid October) and a smaller than average crop of deeply coloured and concentrated wines was produced. They have aged very well with the tannins smoothing out and today the top wines display much finesse as well as considerable complexity.
