Origins
This vine was offered by Emperor Charlemagne in 775 to the Saint-Andoche collegiate church in Saulieu. It will remain in this heritage for a thousand years. Still celebrating today the emperor with the flowery beard, Corton-Charlemagne brings together the “Charlemagne” and “En Charlemagne” climats as well as some neighboring and federated climats under this banner (the AOC Grand Cru dates from July 31, 1937) .
