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.
Located between Beaune and Volnay in the Côte de Beaune, and often referred to as “the flower of Beaunois wines,” Pommard has long embodied the essence of Burgundy, remaining steadfast and true to its character over the centuries.
Intense ruby red in colour, the wine opens with bright aromas of black and blue fruit, lifted by hints of cherry cola and toasted spice. Full-bodied and structured on the palate, it shows velvety, mouth-coating tannins and a precise line of acidity that cuts through the richly compact fruit. A wine that will reward patience, with more savoury complexity and further textural refinement expected to emerge with age.
Ageing Potential: 5 to 20 years
