Currency Estimate
A bottle of 1960 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru from Louis Jadot, picked from one of Burgundy's most celebrated hillside vineyards.
This was imported and distributed in the UK by now defunct UK wine merchant Grants of St. James Ltd.
Sometimes referred to as 'the Chablis of the Cote d'Or' for its ability to combine power and flesh with a purer, minerally edge more readily associated with wines from cooler, more northerly vineyards. Corton-Charlemagne is named after the Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne, who once owned the hill of Corton on which the vineyards now rest.
