Good to Know: In 775, the Emperor Charlemagne generously bestowed this particular vine to a Catholic institution situated in Saulieu. Remarkably, the vine has been meticulously preserved for an impressive span of 1000 years. Positioned atop its hill, it stands as the solitary grand cru that basks in sunlight from dawn till dusk. Spanning across a vast area of 52 hectares, Corton Charlemagne stretches from Ladoix-Serrigny in the East, passing through Aloxe-Corton in the South, and finally reaching Pernand-Vergelesses in the West.
