The commune of Aloxe-Corton boasts a unique distinction, with over half of its expanse enveloped in Grand Cru vineyards, featuring an exposure that spans from east to south and southwest.

Among these Grand Cru vineyards, Les Pougets stands out, positioned adjacent to the Le Charlemagne climat on the upper and mid-slope. In this distinguished terroir, characterized by variegated soils alternating between chalk and iron-rich marl, the artful craftsmanship yields both Corton Pougets and Corton Charlemagne.

This Grand Cru wine gracefully pairs with a spectrum of culinary delights, including roasted salmon, chicken, grilled red meat such as beef and lamb chops, osso buco, stew, ragout, bœuf bourguignon, duck, partridge, quail, deer, young wild boar, teppanyaki beef, and the classic accompaniment of mashed potatoes with salted butter, complemented by Cîteaux and Mont d’Or cheeses.
