The Iconic Wines of Corton-Charlemagne

The hill of Corton is the most recognizable landmark in Burgundy and the whites that come off of it are as iconic as the sight of the site.  Cascadingly mineral, effusively aromatic and packed with depth and age-worthiness, the wines of Corton-Charlemagne are a jewel of Burgundy.

When they’re on, only the Grand Crus of Montrachet and its satellites rival top-tier Corton-Charlemagne.  In the hands of a producer like Coche, there’s not a more desirable wine in Burgundy and even more affordable examples offer intense white Burgundy experiences.

National Best Prices on Gaja

Gaja is a name that requires no context in discussion—like Latour or DRC, it’s understood which estate is meant and that the wines are epic, change-your-dinner-plans events.  Angelo Gaja is one of the primary reasons we care about Barbaresco today and the wines bearing his name remain the most treasured and collectible of the region.

Alsace is one of our favorite wine regions on the planet—a perfect synthesis of what we love about both German and French wine cultures.  The whites are especially perfect this time of year, with weight and fruit to pair with richer foods.  The genius of Alsatian wine is that that richness is balanced with brightness and zest, so you end up feeling refreshed and ready for more food and wine (which, given the richness of the food in Alsace is kinda the point).
