Armand Heitz Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 2018

Introduction

In 2018, Domaine Heitz-Lochardet crafted a masterpiece with their Armand Heitz Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru. This exceptional Burgundy white wine showcases the essence of its terroir with unparalleled elegance. The year blessed the vineyard with ideal weather conditions, resulting in grapes of exceptional quality.

On the border between the Cote de Nuits and the Cte de Beaune, between 280 and 330 meters in altitude, the Corton-Charlemagne is largely exposed to the southwest. This vine was offered by Emperor Charlemagne in 775 to the collegiate church of Saint-Andoche de Saulieu.

The wine exudes a complex bouquet of citrus blossoms, honeyed notes, and subtle oak, leading to a palate of exquisite balance, rich minerality, and vibrant acidity. Its lingering finish leaves a lasting impression, making it a collector’s dream.
