✨ Technical Specifications
The Hospices de Beaune Corton-Vergennes Grand Cru 'Cuvée Paul Chanson', meticulously elevated and bottled by Maison Louis Jadot, is a white Burgundy of immense pedigree. Paul Chanson, a distinguished Beaune négociant and passionate defender of Burgundy's traditional viticulture, bequeathed his prized parcel of Corton-Vergennes to the Hospices de Beaune in 1974. Uniquely, Chanson insisted that this specific plot remain planted exclusively to Chardonnay, despite the hill of Corton being overwhelmingly famous for its red Pinot Noir. Raised with care in Louis Jadot's cellars, this Grand Cru showcases the profound power and mineral complexity of the Corton hill, offering a rich, structured profile with intense notes of yellow orchard fruits, toasted hazelnuts, and crushed limestone.
