Butterfield Corton Grand Cru Blanc 2015

Corton is a grand cru appellation covering the slopes of the Montagne de Corton hill in the Côte de Beaune district of Burgundy. It is the largest grand cru vineyard in Burgundy, and is one of only two where wines are made from both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay (the other is the Musigny vineyard). Corton's wines were a favorite of the Emperor Charlemagne, who lends his name to the white wines made on the western side of the hill.

Grape Variety: 100% Chardonnay

Wine Region: Aloxe-Corton, Burgundy, France

Tasting Notes: Rich aromas of ripe yellow fruits and pleasant oak barrels intertwined. The palate is powerful with vibrant fruit and a hint of minerality. 

Food Pairing: Crayfish & avocado cocktail
