The Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru appellation is shared by the two villages Aloxe-Corton and PernandVergelesses in the Northern part of the Cote de Beaune. The village of Aloxe-Corton has the rare ability to have over half of its area covered by Grand Cru vineyards. The exposure ranges from east to south and southwest. This vineyard is one of the oldest and has been owned by Louis Jadot since the XIXth century. It is located in the heart of the appellation (next to the Corton Pougets), which expanded after 1966. Originally, it was the only place to be allowed to bear the Corton-Charlemagne appellation. This vineyard is ideally south-oriented. Grapes are harvested by hand and put in small cases so as not to damage the fruits. Grapes are pressed softly. They ferment in oak barrels produced by our cooperage. 1/3 are new barrels. Ageing usually lasts 15 months on fine lies before bottling

| Winery | The vintage was very dry but relatively cool. Luckily, the frost damage was minimal, and a combination of moderate day temperatures and cool evenings resulted in a relatively good yield and wonderful flavour concentration. The fermentation takes place in oak barrels, after which the wines are aged in barrels for 18 months. |
