The commune of Aloxe-Corton has the unusual distinction of having over half its area covered in Grand Cru vineyards. It has an exposure ranging from east to south and Southwest. The Grand Cru vineyard of Les Pougets is directly adjacent to Le Charlemagne's climate, on the upper and midslope. It is among the five vineyards of the commune in which the variegated soils, alternating between chalk and iron-rich marl, produce both Corton Pougets and Corton Charlemagne. Destemmed grapes ferment in vats for 3 to 4 weeks. Ageing occurs in oak barrels made by our cooperage Cadus for 18 months.

Winery | Founded in 1859, Louis Jadot is one of Burgundy's most prestigious vignerons. The Maison bears the name of its creator and has become one of the region's largest proprietors of Premier and Grand Cru vineyards. Winemaking is now under the guidance of the talented Jacques Lardiere, who joined the company in 1970 and believes that his mission is to intervene with nature as little as possible. As a result, no synthetic herbicides or fertilisers have been used for many years on the estate, and they have also been trialling biodynamic viticultural practices on a small 14-hectare plot in and around Beaune. If deemed successful, the techniques will be implemented in other vineyards. Domaine Louis Jadot uphold the highest standards and have an unwavering stance regarding the quality of their wines, making them a very reliable source of Burgundy. |
