A fact from Corton-Charlemagne appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 26 March 2013 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that according to legend, the wife of Charlemagne had white grapes planted in what is now the Corton-Charlemagne AOC because she didn't like seeing red wine stains in his beard?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2013/March. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Corton-Charlemagne.

"Legend"

Dicey general claims for early cultivation on the Côtes d'Or slopes might be corrected by reading the archeological report based on carbon 14 dating of eroded material at the foot of certain slopes in Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits: J.P. Garcia, C. Petit, A. Quiperez, "Données nouvelles de datation des substrats du vignoble en Côte de Beaune et en Côte de Nuits: contribution à l'histoire longue des terroirs viticoles" in Bulletin de liaison du Centre Histoire de la Vigne et du Vin 1988, pp 5ff. (I read this at googlescholar).

There may be useful observations on "Clos Charlemagne" in Fanny Arnaud, "Essai de restitution de l'occupation ancienne du sol à partir des données toponymiques spatialisées de Côte d'Or (Aloxe, Gevrey, Marsonné, Vosne)" also in Bulletin du Centre Histoire de la Vigne et du Vin, 1988.--Wetman (talk) 17:06, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Burundies or Burgundies"

The quotation is "the most sumptuous of all white Burundies" - Looks likely to be a mistype, can anyone check the source? ( T. Stevenson, ed. The Sotheby's Wine Encyclopedia (5th Edition) pgs 200-201 Dorling Kindersley (2011) ISBN 9780756686840 ) SteveSuth (talk) 19:25, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
