Corton Charlemagne, Grand Cru, 2023

A very clear and well-defined nose. This has a real class to it, less starry-eyed than the caillerets, with more body and structure and architecture, but there's also a real balance and purity here. There's a finishing tension that gives this some real interest. From behind Pougets, a mid-slope, south, south-east facing vineyard of 35 years old, aged in a mixture of small barriques and larger demi-muid barrels to minimise oak influence.
