Corton Grand Cru

The very complex nose of flint, dried pear, Amalfi lemon and fresh ginger pulls you inexorably into this super focused and racy Corton-Charlemagne that is still tightly wound. Wonderful silky texture at the very long crushed stone finish. So much energy and vitality it should age very well. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Light golden. A touch of heather honey, malty, almost a hint of premox, which tends to get lost in the glass, apple, some herbal candy, liquorice, with aeration also peach, and finally an almost truffle-like aroma. Silky attack, firm acidity, buttery smoothness in the midpalate, substantial in the transition to the finish, a mineral firm foundation. It is a stout and robust vintage type. In complexity and length, however, it is only medium-weight.
