History

This gift to the Hospices was made in gothic lettering on parchment, in 1534. “For the cure and salvation of her soul,” the childless Charlotte Dumay, wife of the King’s Keeper of the Mint in Dijon, gave 100 ouvrées of vineyard and fallow land in the territory of Aloxe, with a house in stone. Today, this is one of the Hospices’s longest-lived, most sumptuously structured wines.

Historically, this cuvées was a blend of Corton-Renardes (2/3) and Corton-Bressandes (1/3). From 2022, this cuvée Charlotte Dumay is 100% Les Bressandes
