Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Corton Wine?

If you travel along the Côte d’Or in Burgundy, from Dijon to Beaune, you’ll eventually find yourself facing the awe-inspiring Montagne de Corton. The vineyards covering the round hill have excellent sun exposure, which means that Corton grapes are amongst the most coveted in the area. Several appellations are entitled to the Corton vineyards, specifically the Le Corton Grand Cru. And although some of the most sought-after Corton wines are white and made with Chardonnay, growers also produce Pinot Noir. This is what you need to know about Corton.

What Are the Most Popular Corton Wines?

Winemakers label the most popular Corton wines under the Corton Grand Cru appellation, which allows red wines made with Pinot Noir and white wines made with Chardonnay. The Grand Cru vineyards are divided between the communes of Aloxe-Corton, Ladoix-Serrigny and Pernand-Vergelesses for 145 hectares of vines. Corton-Charlemagne is another outstanding wine appellation exclusive to white wines. And although all Corton wines are memorable, the most complex come from the slopes with south and eastern exposures, as the western slopes receive less sunlight during the growing season. Nevertheless, seeing the word Corton on a label guarantees a spectacular wine.

What Are the Different Types of Corton Wine?

Corton Grand Cru and Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru are the finest wines in the area, but they’re not the only ones. Wines made at a commune level are labelled as either Aloxe-Corton, Ladoix-Serrigny or Pernand-Vergelesses. These wines are made with grapes grown outside the Grand Cru vineyard but near the prestigious site. Wines labelled as Aloxe-Corton might not be as exciting as those made with Grand Cru grapes, but that doesn’t mean that the wines are not enjoyable. Interestingly, experts suggest Corton Grand Cru is too large, and only some of its grapes are of the highest quality, so purchasing Corton wine from a reputable producer is the best alternative.

Are Corton Wines Expensive?

Corton is a Grand Cru, the highest quality tier in Burgundy, so the wines are highly coveted. Corton wines are expensive, but compared to other wines from neighbouring Grand Crus, Corton is still a fair value. What makes Corton wines expensive is their reputation, and the producer plays a significant role in the price.

Of course, fine wine is worth splurging on, especially when discussing wines as famous as those from Corton.
