Corton Charlemagne, Grand Cru, 2023
Waves of polished, pristine yellow fruit set upon a honed marble type minerality. Sleek and seamless with good finishing olfactory reverb. This is impressive. All domaine fruit from a south-east facing plot called Les Languettes high up on the hill.
critic reviews
Opening in the glass with notes of sweet citrus fruits, white flowers and freshly baked bread, the 2023 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru (Domaine) is full-bodied, satiny and layered, with a deep core of fruit and a long, chalky finish.
The 2023 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru hails from vines located on the eastern side in the lieu-dit of Les Longuettes. This has a fragrant bouquet with orchard fruit, crushed chalk and white flower notes that gain intensity in the glass. The palate is very well balanced with orange rind and tangerine tones. The vibrant, spicy, lemongrass-laced finish has a seductively waxy texture. This is excellent.
