Corton-Charlemagne, Grand Cru, 2024

A smaller crop than some others in the range as the plot in Le Charlemagne was hit harder by mildew, though Simon couldn’t explain why. Still extremely youthful, with a clear complexity, depth and a profound minerality, but still some way to go for the parts to find their way together. Wait a while. From two fine parcels, one in the north-west facing En Charlemagne and the other in the south-facing Le Charlemagne, which can, incredibly, be harvested up to two weeks apart.
