Vintage Character The 2022 Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru from Domaine Faiveley stands as a testament to the grandeur of Burgundy’s storied terroir. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy was characterized by a warm, dry growing season, which promoted optimal ripening and produced white wines of notable concentration, richness, and balanced acidity. This favorable weather contributed to a vintage that is widely considered excellent for white Burgundy.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded an impressive 93–95 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this Grand Cru opens with an expressive bouquet of white peach, citrus blossom, toasted hazelnuts, and a subtle mineral edge. The palate is full-bodied and layered, with vibrant acidity framing flavors of crisp green apple, ripe pear, and a gentle touch of smoky oak, culminating in a long, saline-inflected finish. Its refined structure and depth make it an ideal match for elegant Western dishes such as seared scallops, lobster thermidor, or a creamy Comté cheese, all of which accentuate the wine’s minerality and nuanced complexity.
