Twenty miles south of Dijon and 4 miles north of Beaune is the delightful village of Aloxe-Corton.

General Corton (red wine) characteristics: they have a pronounded, earthy, intense, spicy, burnt cherry gout de terroir character that is unique. Perhpas a useful comparison are the very mineral, tobacco-scented and flavored wines of the Graves appelation of Bordeaux. Red Corton, because of its earthy, often dusty, tannic character, is more difficult to appreciate when young. The best examples can age as well, perhaps even longer, than the top wines from the Côte de Nuits.

General Corton (white wine) characteristics: Corton-Charlemagne is truly one of the world's most compelling expressions of Chardonnay grape. It is a big, forceful, powerful wine that usually needs 4 to 5 years to open up.
