Corton is the only red Grand Cru in the Côte de Beaune and the Côte d’Or that can be divided into sub-climats. "Le Corton" refers to the historic plot that names the Corton appellation. Bouchard Père & Fils owns 60% of Le Corton, which is primarily planted with Pinot Noir or Chardonnay. Its unique east-facing altitude benefits from northern winds that keep the fruit fresh and reduce disease risk, ensuring perfect ripeness. The soil on the hillside is a shallow, iron-rich clay resting on compact limestone, which contributes to the wine’s elegance and floral character, unlike most Cortons planted in deeper clay that yield more powerful wines.
