In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Luminous and refined, this Chardonnay unfolds across hours in the glass. White stone fruit and citrus lead, joined by soft vanillin oak woven seamlessly into the wine's fabric. The palate builds layer upon layer, never heavy, with exquisite concentration held together by the mineral backbone that limestone and clay-marl soils bestow.

The Winery — David Moret

A micro-négociant based in his modest Beaune cellar, David Moret transitioned to winemaking in 2000 after years supplying the trade. He sources premium grapes from top Burgundian growers, respecting each parcel's potential. For this 2022 vintage, ideal spring and summer conditions—sparing late frosts, generous heat, early harvest—preserved the acidity that gives the wine its backbone. Fermentation took place whole-bunch in large French oak foudres (40% new) with wild yeasts; malolactic fermentation unfolded naturally over 11 months. The wine was bottled unfiltered and unfined, a commitment to purity that shows in every sip.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

Corton-Charlemagne's minerality and refinement pair beautifully with roasted chicken, poached fish in butter sauce, and aged cheeses. It shines alongside shellfish, white fish, mushroom and truffle dishes, and oily fish preparations. Equally at home at a formal dinner or in quiet solo contemplation, this is a wine that rewards patience—both at table and in the cellar. Chill to 10–12°C. One of the finest examples of Chardonnay this vintage, it invites you to explore what else Burgundy's remarkable terroir offers.
