JOSEPH FAIVELEY Recolte du Domaine Grand Cru, Corton-Charlemagne 1992

Legend has it that the Corton hillside was once planted exclusively with red grape variety and that Charlemagne himself had a penchant for these wines. Unfortunately, the red wine left scarlet stains in the Emperor’s beard and his wife feared that this would bring shame upon the royal dignity. Charlemagne therefore decided to replant the vineyards with white grape variety in order to continue drinking his favourite wine. Our family purchased this parcel in 1874 along with the Corton “Clos des Cortons Faiveley” Grand Cru Monopole. Exposition:East. Soil:Grey marls.
