Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru reveals an exceptional range of aromas, marked by ripe fruit flavours such as citrus, stone fruit and exotic fruit. Floral notes of lime blossom and hawthorn add a delicate elegance. The time spent in barrel contributes to the complexity of this powerful white, with a few vegetal touches as well as notes of undergrowth, butter, grilled almonds, honey and torrefaction. This wine stands out for its richness, power and fullness, offering impressive length on the palate. The whole is perfectly balanced and reveals exceptional ageing potential.
