Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru Alvina Pernot, 2023

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is one of Burgundy’s most revered white wines, and in the hands of Alvina Pernot it offers a refined, site-driven expression of Chardonnay from this legendary hillside. The 2023 vintage promises the kind of precision, minerality, and depth that make this Grand Cru so sought after, combining power with exceptional finesse.

Tasting Notes
Expect a pale, luminous gold colour in the glass, with an elegant, tightly woven aromatic profile. Notes of citrus zest, green apple, white flowers, and crushed stone are often complemented by subtle hints of hazelnut, buttered toast, and fine spice as the wine opens up. On the palate, this should be broad yet focused, with a silky texture, vibrant acidity, and a long, mineral finish that reflects the grand cru terroir. Corton-Charlemagne is built for graceful ageing, and the 2023 vintage should reward patience, evolving beautifully over the next decade or more.

Production
Corton-Charlemagne comes from one of the most celebrated white wine sites in Burgundy, on the limestone-rich slopes above Aloxe-Corton, where chalky soils and excellent exposition give Chardonnay its signature tension and depth. While specific vineyard and vinification details for this bottling are not provided, wines from this appellation are typically harvested by hand and crafted with careful cellar work to preserve purity, terroir expression, and structure.

Food & Serving
This is a superb wine for fine dining, pairing beautifully with lobster, scallops, roast chicken with cream sauce, turbot, or aged hard cheeses. Serve slightly chilled at around 10-12°C, and consider decanting briefly when young to help the wine reveal its full aromatic complexity.

Producer
Alvina Pernot is part of a respected Burgundian winemaking lineage, bringing a contemporary touch to the region’s classic style. The name is associated with attentive craftsmanship and a focus on terroir-driven wines, reflecting the heritage and prestige that Burgundy’s top sites demand.
