Château Corton André
Just heard Château Corton André, that Burgundy icon, has been bought by Bejot of Meursault.
Château Corton André – what will become of this Burgundy icon and its wines…

Of course its holiday time and difficult to find news, but one suggestion I read was that Bejot, having bought Maison Pierre André and Reine Pedauque will sell off the famously tiled château and some vineyards to the Frey family of Switzerland who already successfully run Château La Lagune in the Medoc and Paul Jaboulet in the Rhône.
Personally I just hope it means the Reine Pedauque winery in Aloxe-Corton will be improved in some way. That’ll be some job.

I guess we just have to wait and see……
