Note di degustazione
The 2017 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is showing especially well. As usual, it's a blend of fruit from Aloxe and Pernand, but Colin told me that he is now sourcing an additional parcel from Pernand, so the blend has changed. He also added that he is picking a touch later, seeking greater plenitude. The result is a very successful wine that unfurls in the glass with a classy bouquet of citrus oil, subtle spices, crisp green apple, nutmeg and beeswax. On the palate, it's full-bodied, deep and layered, with excellent concentration, racy acids and a chalky, phenolic finish. This might be Pierre-Yves Colin's finest Corton-Charlemagne to date.

Made from 2003 onwards. Two-thirds from Pernand (high and minerally) and one-third from Aloxe (upper slope in Les Languettes). Racked and back to barrel in August. Will spend several months in tank before bottling in May. Rich and creamy on the nose and fragrant with pure citrus fruit. Rich, intense pure lemon fruit all tied in with a stony finesse. Ultra-mouth-watering tension and energy on the finish. Brilliant intensity and very direct at the moment. The fruit seems to back up in the mouth even after you have spat the wine, it backfills with intensity and runs forward with precision and mineral tension. Glorious wine all in embryo. (JH)
(Colin has added more fruit on the Pernand side to this cuvée – now about 70% of the total, with the other 30% from Aloxe-Corton--and the owner in Pernand lets him work all of his vines): Bright, pale yellow-green. Nectarine and white peach aromas are lifted by lime and flowers and complicated by menthol, lavender and medicinal herbs. Very dense, fine-grained and concentrated but stands out more today for its structure and lift than for its body and size. This pungently aromatic wine really glistens and builds on the vibrant aftertaste.
