Vineyard Corton Charlemagne

50% new oak. Compared with the Batard (tasted just before), the Corton comes across more elegant, with a slightly more fruit forward nose. Apples, pears, orange blossom & white flowers. Hints of honey & toast. There’s still lots of ripeness and the structure is fantastic. Intense, with a very long, balanced finish. This is a lovely wine. Drinking range: 2026 - 2037 L&S (Nov 2021)

Purchased grapes, from all three communes of the appellation. Mid lemon yellow colour, a tight nose, harder to assess because served after the Montrachet. Very intense, backward, quite ripe, and the necessary stones do appear in due course, along with the weighty yellow fruit. Tasted: 10/1/2021 Rating: 93-96 Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy  (Dec 2021)
