The Estate

Located in Aloxe-Corton, Château Corton C. is rooted around a historic château, whose current architecture dates back to the late 19th century. Acquired by the Frey family in 2014-2015, it was entrusted to Caroline Frey, a renowned oenologist who also manages La Lagune (Bordeaux) and Paul Jaboulet Aîné (Rhône). Under her direction, the vineyard converted to organic farming (certified in 2021) and is moving towards biodynamics, with a vision focused on biodiversity and precision in aging. The name "Château Corton C" has gradually evolved into Domaine Caroline Frey, clearly highlighting the signature of its manager. This continuity has resulted in more chiseled wines that combine energy, fruit purity, and elegance.

The Vineyard

This Auxey-Duresses wine comes from a 0.6035-hectare plot planted in 2014.
