The commune of Aloxe-Corton has the unusual distinction of having over half its area covered in Grand Cru vineyards. It has an exposure ranging from east to south and Southwest. The Grand Cru vineyard of Les Pougets is directly adjacent to Le Charlemagne's climate, on the upper and midslope. It is among the five vineyards of the commune in which the variegated soils, alternating between chalk and iron-rich marl, produce both Corton Pougets and Corton Charlemagne. Destemmed grapes ferment in vats for 3 to 4 weeks. Aging takes place in oak barrels produced by our cooperage Cadus for 18 months.
Louis Jadot purchased this great vineyard in 1914; it faces south and consistently produces wines with incredible depth and generosity. This wine is fermented in vats for 3-4 weeks and then aged 18-20 months in oak barrels before bottling.
