Note di degustazione
The 2012 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, which like the Meursault Perrieres, comes from contracted fruit, has a very tight grapefruit and linden-scented bouquet that needs a couple more years in bottle to really flow. The palate is rounded and generous on the entry with orange peel and citrus notes, although it tapers away toward the finish just when you start to enjoy this Corton-Charlemagne. Drink now-2019. Importer: Terlato International and Mentzendorff (UK)

Gorgeous creamy citrus aroma, both bright and mealy with a sprinkling of oak spice. In the mouth, rich and creamy and still has the freshness to balance all that intensity. Embryonically delicious. (JH)
Here the nose is much less expressive and only grudgingly reveals notes of green apple, white flowers and wet stone. The textured, dense and powerful full-bodied flavors possess excellent mid-palate concentration before culminating in a saline, dry and impeccably well-balanced finish. This is relatively forward in the context of what is typical for the appellation and should be relatively approachable young if desired. Tasted: Jun 15, 2014. Drink: 2018+
