Domaine Gaston and Pierre Ravaut Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 2023

There are three main reasons why Domaine Gaston et Pierre Ravaut is one of our favourite estates: the warm welcome, the good-natured craftsmen and the high-quality wine.

Recognized as a family estate of very high quality, Vincent Ravaut produces great wines, including 1er Cru and Grand Cru, renowned worldwide for their character and complexity.

Domaine Gaston et Pierre Ravaut is situated in Côte-d'Or, at the foot of the famous Corton hill. This is the only area in Burgundy that produces both white and red Grands Crus. You’re likely already familiar with these renowned appellations: Corton, Corton-Charlemagne, Aloxe-Corton, Aloxe-Corton Premier Cru and Ladoix.

Gaston Ravaut, known as Le Tonton (not to be confused with his grandson, Gaston, nicknamed Le Tounet) began selling his estate’s wine in 1920. The product quickly became known for its quality and even earned him a medal at the 1936 Concours Général Agricole.
