Description
Corton-Charlemagne is the only vineyard in Burgundy bearing the name of two emperors: "Corton" comes from the Gallo-Roman Curtis d'Othon, meaning the Domaine of Othon, a German emperor.
It gave the word Courthon, which became Corton. Famous emperor Charlemagne(Carolus Magnus) was, according to legend, the owner of the vineyard.
