Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru
Cuvée Roi Soleil 2023
A tribute to Sun King and a famous Hospices wine. Finesse and intensity.
Dégustation
Dès le premier nez, ce vin montre une intensité de grand cru. Les fruits et les fleurs dominent. Même intensité exceptionnelle en bouche, tandis que l'acidité en fin de bouche maintient l'équilibre. Ce vin est très long en bouche et évoluera patiemment. Une bouteille magnifique.
Accords Mets-Vins & Garde
Vibrant on its own, it will pair finely with fish sashimi, a creamy poultry dish or an old mountain hard cheese.
Histoire de la cuvée
It was in 1584 that Charlotte Dumay bequeathed vines in Corton-Renardes to the Hôtel-Dieu. This Cuvée is called Roi Soleil, in remembrance of King Louis XIV who in 1658, with his mother and his court, visited the Hospices. The King decided to give a yearly grant to the Institution, and all signed the visitors book. Old Pinot Noir vines were pulled up from this plot in 1997. Today’s great white Corton-Charlemagne comes from east-facing land which lies high on the Corton hillside, and is now deemed more suitable for Chardonnay than Pinot Noir. The wine shows great raciness, as well as fine potential for ageing"
