Note di degustazione
Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2012 tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru from Vincent Girardin has a commercial, punter-friendly bouquet with flecks of white chocolate littered over the citrus fruit, but it becomes oxidised with time. The palate has a disorientating vein of dryness on the entry. This feels a little mean, very linear but it would have benefitted from more weight and delineation on the finish that has a slight sourness. I actually prefer some of Girardin’s white premier cru to this.

(the 2012 grand crus were bottled in late April and early May of this year): Bright yellow-green. Slightly high-toned aromas of lime blossom, ripe pear and Serrano ham, plus a hint of flinty reduction. Rich but rather burly in the mouth and youthfully disjointed, not currently showing the cut or lift of the young 2013. The flinty element carries through on the palate. This muscular Corton-Charlemagne will need several years in the cellar to harmonize.
