Tasting notes
Produced from purchased grapes, the 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is serious and structured, enforcing a change of pace after the series of Puligny-Montrachet grands crus. Mingling notes of pear and citrus oil with hints of toasted bread, white flowers, and praline, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny, and chalky, with palpable structuring dry extract and tangy balancing acids.

Key characteristics
About this wine
Domaine Henri Boillot is a renowned producer of high-quality wines, and their Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru is no exception. This exquisite wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Corton-Charlemagne vineyard, located in the Côte de Beaune region of Burgundy, France. The vineyard has a long and storied history, dating back to the 8th century when it was owned by the Emperor Charlemagne.
The wine is produced using traditional methods, with the grapes being hand-harvested and carefully sorted before being pressed. The juice is then fermented in oak barrels, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged for 18 months. The result is a wine that is rich and complex, with notes of citrus, honey, and toasted oak.
Domaine Henri Boillot is known for their commitment to quality, and this is evident in the Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru. The wine is made in small quantities, with only a limited number of bottles produced each year. This ensures that each bottle is of the highest quality, and that the wine is able to age gracefully for many years.
Overall, the Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru from Domaine Henri Boillot is a truly remarkable wine. Its rich history, traditional production methods, and exceptional quality make it a standout in the world of wine. Whether you are a connoisseur or a casual wine drinker, this is a bottle that is sure to impress.
