2024 Domaine Faiveley Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 750ml

Overview

Faiveley’s 2024 Corton-Charlemagne brings Chardonnay from one of Burgundy’s celebrated white-wine Grand Crus. Its hillside origins on the Côte de Beaune give the wine a distinct setting within the domaine’s range.

The estate’s holding covers approximately 0.87 hectares across four parcels. East-facing slopes and grey marl soils underpin a wine built around concentration, balance and mineral definition.

Vintage & Winemaking

The 2024 growing season began cool and wet before warmer, drier weather allowed gradual ripening. Grapes were pneumatically pressed and the clarified juice fermented in barrel for approximately four weeks. Maturation lasted 18 months in French oak, with 50–60% new barrels and lees stirring.

Product Highlights

• Four estate parcels on the Corton hill
• East-facing slopes at approximately 305–360 metres
• Grey marl soils
• Barrel fermentation and extended lees maturation
