Domaine Faiveley’s parcels are located in the “Le Charlemagne” and “En Charlemagne” lieux-dits, benefiting from a mix of exposures and soil compositions. This diversity contributes to the wine’s complexity and balance. The vineyard’s high elevation and limestone-rich soils impart a distinctive minerality to the wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eGrapes are hand-harvested and undergo gentle pressing. Fermentation occurs in French oak barrels, with 50-60% being new oak, over a period of four weeks. The wine is aged on its lees for 18 months, with regular bâtonnage (lees stirring) to enhance texture and complexity. This traditional approach, combined with modern precision, results in a wine that embodies both richness and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe 2022 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru presents a brilliant pale yellow hue. The nose is expressive, revealing aromas of citrus zest, white peach, white flowers, fresh mint, and wet stones. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, layered, and dense, with a tightly wound structure. It exhibits a satiny texture, chiseled minerality, and a long, chalky finish. The wine’s balance of richness and acidity ensures both immediate appeal and long-term aging potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFood \u0026amp; Wine Pairing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThis Grand Cru Chardonnay pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, including roasted poultry, lobster, and aged cheeses like Comté.
