Corton &
Aloxe-Corton
The majestic Corton hill, rich in prestigious imperial heritage. Charlemagne gave his name to a two-hectare vineyard on the south-western slope of the hillside. Through the seasons, Corton and Corton-Charlemagne reveal to the enthusiast the roots of the oldest vines.
We are situated precisely at the meeting point of the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune — an ideal position from which to travel the wine route and discover the many wine domaines and châteaux of Aloxe-Corton.
Beaune
Beaune is a city encircled by ramparts that holds many treasures. Its most emblematic monument is the Hôtel-Dieu (Hospices de Beaune) and its roof of glazed tiles.
Enjoy the charm of Beaune by visiting the cellars of the great négociant houses, savouring its gastronomy and strolling through the cobbled streets of the old town.
