Tasting notes
The 2020 ripeness is apparent in the wine's generous, almost luscious texture, yet Girardin has preserved remarkable freshness through careful élevage. The mid-palate is expansive and rich baked apple, almond cream, white nectarine before the wine tightens dramatically on the finish, driven by that signature Corton-Charlemagne minerality: granite, struck flint, and a saline precision that carries on for minutes.

About this wine
Girardin's "regular" bottling of 2019 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is very good, offering up aromas of pear, citrus zest and peach, complemented by hints of freshly baked bread and anise. Full-bodied, deep and textural, it's ample and seamless, with bright acids and a saline finish.
