Note di degustazione
The 2015 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a comparatively austere bouquet that remains stoic in the glass, offering crushed stone, red apple and touch of orange pith. Attractive, but I would have liked to see more energy. The taut, linear palate is well balanced, with a fine bead of acidity, and the brisk, slightly saline finish offers a sense of energy and focus. Allow this another two or three years in bottle, as it has more to give. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. (DIAM 30 closure)

Medium yellow. Very spicy but youthfully subdued on the nose. Plush, silky and concentrated, with its strong dry extract giving the wine an impression of solidity. Highly concentrated citrus and ginger flavors are complicated by a saline mineral element. Plenty of alcohol here yet this grand cru comes across as quite suave, with its fat leavened by firm, harmonious acidity. Finishes round and horizontal.
The 2015 Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru has a pleasant citrus, dried yellow flower, mango and basalt-scented bouquet that unfurls gradually in the glass. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry, a more linear take on the vineyard with good tension, though I would have liked more terroir expression towards the finish. I think it will stretch its wings once in bottle.
