Tasting
| Aroma | Much more layered aromas are comprised by notes of wet stone, citrus confit, Granny Smith apple and pretty spice wisps. white peach, apple blossoms, and salty minerality with toast and brioche from aging in 60% new oak barrels. |
| Palate | The dense but sleek and highly energetic larger-bodied flavors display impressive power and length on the compact, austere and impeccably balanced finale. incredible weight, texture, and layers of mineral complexity. There is always plenty of nerve and tension in Corton-Charlemagne. |
| Finish | impressive power and length on the compact, austere and impeccably balanced finale. complex finish. |
| Food Pairing | Giant crevettes, grilled langoustines, Coquilles Saint Jacques on lentils, Risotto ai frutti di mare. Oak-aging lends itself well to grilled fish, starches, butter, and toasted nuts. |
