Tasting notes

The 2013 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru was affected by a little hail but it was the coulure that reduced the crop down to just three barrels. It has a very lifted bouquet, very opulent and ostentatious and you can forgive it for that. Wonderful delineation and intense yellow plum, Mirin, white peach and mineral scents that swarm from the glass. The palate is very well balanced with impressive weight in the mouth, the acidity finely tuned and a finish that has something almost Napa in terms of its audacity (and that is meant positively not negatively.) Chapeau!

Key characteristics

About this wine

Joseph Drouhin is a renowned Burgundy producer, established in 1880 by Joseph Drouhin. The winery is now run by the fourth generation of the Drouhin family, and is renowned for its high-quality wines. The Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is one of the most prestigious wines produced by Joseph Drouhin. It is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Corton-Charlemagne vineyard, located in the Côte de Beaune region of Burgundy. The vineyard is renowned for its limestone-rich soils, which impart a unique minerality to the wines.

The Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is a full-bodied white wine, with aromas of citrus, white flowers, and a hint of oak. On the palate, it is rich and creamy, with a long finish. The wine is aged for 12 months in oak barrels, which adds complexity and depth. The Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is a perfect accompaniment to seafood dishes, poultry, and creamy cheeses.

If you're looking for a special wine to pair with a special meal, the Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is an excellent choice. Its unique minerality and complex flavors make it a truly memorable experience.
