Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2023 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru was in barrel until the week before my visit in October and will be bottled early next year. This has an intense nose with touches of dried honey, beeswax, spice and lemongrass. It wears its heart on its sleeve. The palate is well balanced with a viscous texture and keen line of acidity. The pure finish is quintessential Corton-Charlemagne. It's excellent.
