Nestled at the foot of the hillside in Aloxe-Corton, Château Corton Frey stands as one of Burgundy’s most iconic landmarks. Built in the late 19th century atop 15th-century cellars, this historic estate is the region’s most photographed site after the Hospices de Beaune. Legend holds that Emperor Charlemagne once owned vineyards here in the 8th century, planting Chardonnay to preserve the whiteness of his beard.

The estate’s seven hectares span thirteen prestigious appellations, forming part of Burgundy’s intricate mosaic of climats, where the expression of terroir has been honed over centuries. Under the ownership of Caroline Frey, a highly regarded oenologist and winegrower, Château Corton Frey brings together Burgundian tradition with a sustainable, precision-driven philosophy. With intentionally limited production, each wine is crafted to reflect the purity and character of its origin.

Produced as a monopole within the very walls of the Château de Corton, this Grand Cru takes you to the heart of the village, where Burgundy’s excellence reaches its most extraordinary heights. The nose is intense and expressive, unveiling ripe black fruits—blackcurrant and cherry—interlaced with subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is generous, round, and full-bodied, supported by supple, finely structured tannins. It unfolds to a lingering, elegant finish, with subtle hints of leather and truffle emerging.

Aging potential: 10 to 20 years
