Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru

France
Burgundy
2020

Magnificent terroir of white marls high on the hill-side and facing south. Very calcareous ground, with good drainage, allowing harvests at optimal maturity. From three tenths of one hectare of vines that average thirty-five and fifty-five years-old. The persistence on the palate is ridiculously long. It is one of the loveliest white wines of Burgundy which may be tasted young and which gains in complexity and richness as the years go by.

93-95 points
"The 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru opens in the glass with aromas of waxy citrus rind, pear, mandarin oil, white flowers and freshly baked bread. Full-bodied, ample and satiny, it's layered and seamless, with tangy acids and a long, saline finish."
