The 2015 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is very fine, offering up notes of preserved citrus, white peach, toasted nuts and petrol. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, concentrated and powerful, with a deep core and serious structural musculature, juicy acids, and a long, chewy finish. This is notably deeper and more complete than it showed from barrel in the fall of 2016, which seems to confirm Pierre-Yves's observation that in his experience Corton-Charlemagne is one of the wines that benefits most from long élevage.

An oaky style, very toasty, featuring vanilla, apple, lemon, spice and mineral flavors. Intense and driven by racy acidity, building to a long finish, with a lingering aftertaste of oak and lemon. Excellent, but needs time to absorb the oak. Best from 2022 through 2030. 40 cases imported.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Corton-Charlemagne Select to Add
