The Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2020 is a commanding yet finely chiselled Chardonnay, marrying the vintage’s ripeness with the cru’s hallmark austerity. Aromas of lemon oil, white peach, and acacia blossom rise first, layered with crushed limestone, hazelnut, and subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is broad and powerful, driven by a dense mineral core and vibrant acidity that keeps the richness in check. A gentle creaminess frames notes of citrus zest, pear skin, and almond, unfolding with measured intensity. The finish is long, saline, and resonant, leaving a lingering impression of stone and precision. A superb 2020 Corton-Charlemagne—authoritative now, yet built for decades of graceful evolution.

Domaine Faiveley is one of Burgundy’s most historic and respected houses, with roots dating back to 1825 and an exceptional portfolio of Premier and Grand Cru vineyards across the Côte d’Or. Under the leadership of Erwan Faiveley, the domaine has refined its style toward greater precision and transparency while maintaining deep respect for tradition. Meticulous vineyard work, sustainable practices, and a calibrated approach to oak define their modern identity. Faiveley’s holdings on the Hill of Corton are among the most prized, where altitude and limestone-rich soils yield whites of power and mineral tension. Their Corton-Charlemagne is crafted to express site first, balancing structure with finesse. The result is a Grand Cru that consistently delivers depth, clarity, and longevity.
