Corton Charlemagne, Grand Cru, 2023
Opulent, full but racy flavours; crisp citrus fruit mixed with fleshier notes of butter, nut and yellow plum. Very long and layered. From vines that border the Aloxe and Pernand side of the appellation (a fine south/south-westerly exposure), which produces opulent, mineral-tinged wines
critic reviews
Offering up notes of sweet citrus oil, white flowers and freshly baked bread, the 2023 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and pure, with a sweet core of fruit, lively acids and chalky grip on the finish.
The 2023 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has an enticing bouquet with lemon curd, fresh orange pith and candlewax scents that blossom with aeration. Boasting wonderful balance and composure on the palate, this fans out beautifully. I commented that it reminded me of the CC from DRC, not knowing that theirs is located just above Bruno Clair's. Superb.
