Corton (wine)

Corton is an Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) and Grand Cru vineyard for red and white wine in the Côte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy.

It is located on a hill shared between the three villages of Aloxe-Corton, Pernand-Vergelesses and Ladoix in the Côte de Beaune, Burgundy.

The appellation covers the lower parts of the Corton hill and includes several subordinate vineyard names, or climats, within the AOC.

Corton is rare in this aspect, as the 'climat' is seldom used for other Grand Cru appellations in Côte d'Or.

Climats within the Corton AOC and permitted on bottlings include:[3] In Aloxe-Corton: In Ladoix-Serrigny: In Pernand-Vergelesses:
