What is the lore behind the hill of Corton?
As legend has it, in the late 700s the Frankish King Charlemagne observed snows melting first on this arc of southern slopes, and ordered vines to be planted there. As the king grew older his beard whitened, and his wife, distressed by newly visible wine stains on his beard, persuaded him to switch from red wine to white. Two additional, smaller grand cru appellations within Corton—Corton-Charlemagne AOP and Charlemagne AOP—thus bear the king’s name, and produce only white wines. (The latter is rarely if ever used.)
