Corton-Charlemagne, Grand Cru, 2024
More complex, multi-layered and multi-dimensional, showing some genuine Grand Cru presence and stature, this is not just impressive but also delicious, with an abundance of citrus, flowers, nuts and a firm core of mineral power. Impressive intensity and detail, a real winner.?From two plots in Le Charlemagne, planted in 1972 and 1976, located in the upper part of the slope on the Pernand side of Aloxe-Corton where the wines offer ripeness and freshness in equal measure.
critic reviews
The 2024 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru was surprisingly reserved following the En La Rue de Vergy despite coaxing from the glass. It eventually offers Cornice pear and light apricot scents. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, notes of apricot, orange pith and a touch of ginger. Perhaps just misses the texture of the very best from the famous hillside but still it should give at least a decade of drinking pleasure.
