Domaine History

Maison Aegerter, based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, is a family-owned estate known for its passion for Burgundy terroirs and precise craftsmanship. The house produces a wide range of appellations, including prestigious Grands Crus like Corton-Charlemagne, with a focus on elegance, balance, and terroir expression.

Terroir

Located on the slopes of the Corton hill, the Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru vineyards are planted on marl and limestone soils. The high altitude and optimal sun exposure provide freshness, aromatic purity, and the potential for long aging in the Chardonnay grapes.

Tasting Notes

Brilliant golden yellow color. The nose is complex and elegant, with aromas of citrus, white peach, toasted almonds, and subtle mineral notes. On the palate, the wine is rich and full-bodied, with vibrant acidity, creamy texture, and a long, mineral-driven finish.

A majestic Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, combining power, elegance, and aging potential — a true reflection of Burgundy’s finest terroir.

Pairing

Perfect with lobster, scallops, creamy poultry dishes, or aged cheeses like Comté or Gruyère.
