Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru

This has all the racy and stony character of this grand cru site, marrying it to a fabulous elegance that makes this quite full-bodied chardonnay glide over your palate. The great concentration and power are adeptly underplayed, but they drive an extremely long, chalky and saline finish that's totally fascinating. From four plots facing east, ranging from the bottom to the top of the hill. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.

A whiff of briny oyster shell leads off, with flavors of peach, citronella, white flowers, lemon oil and baking spices. Supple and fluid, this white is approachable now, yet should be even better in a year or two. Shows excellent harmony, finesse and length. Best from 2026 through 2035. 15 cases imported.

Sleek, with generous flavors of lemon, peach, butter, vanilla and toasty oak, this white also has a mineral underpinning. Vibrant and balanced, shimmering with fruit, spice and stone elements on the extended aftertaste. Best from 2026 through 2035. 11 cases imported.
