Note di degustazione
Pale, bright yellow. Pungent aromas of lemon, anise and saline minerality. Concentrated, chalky, soil-driven wine with penetrating iodiney minerality, subtle floral lift and a sexy menthol note, as well as a captivating sucrosité from the ripe vintage. Firm acidity (the highest of these 2015s at 4.2 grams per liter) and powerful minerality give the finish noteworthy force.

The 2015 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a more straightforward bouquet compared to the Montrachet, with citrus fruit, a touch of peach and pasty scents. The palate is balanced with peach and guava notes on the entry. This feels rich and waxy in texture with toffee-ish notes towards the easy-going finish. Not a bad Corton-Charlemagne, though I have tasted better in other vintages from this domaine.
(one-third new oak): Pale yellow-green. Alluring white peach and nectarine aromas are lifted by a floral topnote. Then quite taut in the mouth, conveying a distinctly chalky character to its sharply delineated flavors of citrus fruits and white flowers. Very penetrating for a 2015, and the highest of these wines in acidity at 4.2 grams per liter. Finishes with a touch of youthful bitterness.
