Note di degustazione
(from a very sunny site on limestone soil): Ineffable notes of lavender sea salt and high-pitched spices on the nose. Densely packed but with a captivating light touch, with its white peach and citrus flavors accented by spices. There's an almost exotic quality here but this chalky wine is bone-dry. Like Roussanne meets Riesling, although this is actually Chardonnay with a touch of Pinot Blanc. Finishes very long and vibrant, with a crushed-stone character. Fascinating wine.

The 2014 Corton Blanc Grand Cru has a slightly withdrawn bouquet at the moment. The palate is better with grapefruit and a twist of bitter lemon on the entry, quite linear in style with touches of orange zest and mandarin towards the finish. It just needs more conviction, a greater sense of purpose that I hope will eventually be shown in bottle.
