Corton Charlemagne, Grand Cru, 2022
Lemon butter and toasted nut aromas glide from the glass announcing the Corton Charlemagne, which then similarly glides across the palate; sleek and deep and full of drive. Roasted nut notes bolster layered and structured fruit in this soulful, composed and rather glorious Corton Charlemagne. Since 2016 this is now from a south facing parcel in Le Charlemagne, adjacent to his Corton Pinot vines and the Corton Charlemagne parcels of DRC and Coche. Very different from Follin's Cortons pre 2016 which came from more Pinot Noir orientated soils.
critic reviews
The 2022 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has quite a strict bouquet that refuses to come out to play despite rigorous swirling. Maybe because it was a dull Monday morning? The palate is much more open for business: very harmonious, the 30% new oak neatly assimilated, showing touches of citrus fruit, baked popcorn and almond. There is a fine build in the mouth that lingers long after the wine has departed. Afford this 3-5 years in bottle so the aromatics can open.
