Corton — the only red Grand Cru of the Côte de Beaune, crowning the Montagne de Corton — also allows a few hectares of white Chardonnay, a rare and majestic white expression. The white Corton, on the clay-limestone soils of the hill, is one of Burgundy’s great rarities: powerful, dense, long and mineral.
