Note di degustazione
Served from magnum at Domaine de Chevalier, the 2009 Corton-Charlemagne is in absolutely stunning form. While it does not possess the heart-stopping minerality of say, Coche-Dury, the explosion of aromas on the nose is pulsating – wet limestone, acacia, white peach and citrus lemon, all with terrific delineation. The palate does not disappoint, with fabulous balance, a real sense of drive, and a crescendo of flavors in the mouth matched by perfectly judged acidity and an extraordinarily long tail. To be frank, this is one of the best Corton-Charlemagnes I have encountered in a long time. Drink now-2025.

Full yellow. Captivating aromas of ginger, lime, fresh apricot and ginger. Tightly coiled and spicy, with strong acidity and a dry, savory character giving the mid-palate an urgent intensity. Bracing flavors of lime, crushed stone and almost metallic minerality showcase the vintage's density of texture, but with a degree of energy rare for the year. Finishes with terrific persistence. I would not be surprised to see this wine merit an even higher score with several years of bottle aging.
Toasty, struck-match nose and equally – but attractively – reductive on the palate. Fine-grained texture, concentrated with lots of pure ripe citrus fruit and good length. (JH)
