The Bouchard Aine Et Fils Corton – Charlemagne Grand Cru is a magnificent expression of Chardonnay from one of Burgundy’s most revered terroirs. This wine perfectly balances powerful structure with profound elegance, representing a pinnacle of white winemaking.
Established in 1750, Bouchard Aîné et Fils is a historic and respected wine merchant house rooted in the heart of Beaune. For over two centuries, they have built a reputation for crafting wines that reflect the classic character of Burgundy’s diverse appellations. Their expertise lies in sourcing from top vineyards to produce wines of consistent quality and traditional style.
This Grand Cru displays a brilliant golden hue in the glass, releasing complex aromas of lemon curd, green apple, flint, and a subtle hint of toasted almond from well-integrated oak. The palate is full-bodied and intensely focused, driven by a vibrant acidity that carries flavors of stone fruit and crushed rock. Its finish is exceptionally long and mineral-laden, promising excellent potential for aging.
For optimal expression, serve the Bouchard Aine Et Fils Corton – Charlemagne Grand Cru lightly chilled at 12-14°C (54-57°F). It pairs exquisitely with rich dishes such as lobster thermidor, roasted poultry with a cream sauce, or veal sweetbreads.
