P. Dubreuil-Fontaine - Corton Charlemagne 2009

Domaine Dubreuil-Fontaine has four different plots on the Corton hill, all classified as Grand Cru. In red, in the “climats” of Perrières, Clos du Roi and Bressandes and in white, almost two acres on the famous Corton-Charlemagne. Classic Corton Charlemagne is considered to be amongst the finest of Burgundy's whites, and is famous for its combination of fruit flavors (figs and baked pears) and mineral character (flint) – the latter being particularly prevalent in wines from the cooler western slopes. Corton-Charlemagne ranks among the world's more expensive white wines, although it still does not reach the prices commanded by its Montrachet counterparts.
