Alvina Pernot is a renowned producer known for crafting exquisite wines from the prestigious Burgundy region in France. The Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru is a testament to their expertise, showcasing the elegance and complexity of Chardonnay. This wine hails from the esteemed Corton Charlemagne appellation, known for its limestone-rich soils that impart a distinct minerality. The winemaking process involves careful fermentation and aging in French oak barrels, which adds layers of complexity and a subtle oak influence. The wine exhibits a vibrant flavor profile with notes of citrus, green apple, and a hint of toasted almonds, balanced by a refreshing acidity and a long, mineral-driven finish. It pairs beautifully with rich seafood dishes, creamy cheeses, and roasted poultry.

This Corton-Charlemagne is striking for its vibrant acidity and lemony charm, with salty mineral notes and white flowers. There is also a richness and breadth that are very appealing. The grapes come from a friend in Pernand-Vergelesses; typically, they exchange Puligny Folatières two-for-one for the Corton Charlemagne. It is worth the premium, although this year, their friend could only part with enough for a single barrel. The grapes were gently pressed as whole clusters and fermented in a used cask. The result is a wine of limpid purity that lingers seemingly forever on the palate. Drinking Window: 2025-2055.
