Tasting notes
Showing strength with finesse throughout, this white offers wonderful tension, muscle and length. It\'s medium- to full-bodied with fine phenolics that add focus and intensity. Creamy at the end. Al-dente character with a thick grapeskin edge. Drink or hold.

Opening in the glass with notes of sweet citrus fruits, white flowers and freshly baked bread, the 2023 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru (Domaine) is full-bodied, satiny and layered, with a deep core of fruit and a long, chalky finish.
Pale lemon with a green edge. Drouhin’s 2023 Corton-Charlemagne has an explosive nose, the minerals surrounded by a ripe healthy fruit, some more exotic suggestions without going over the top. A little melon and passion fruit, tendrils of honeysuckle, but it all comes down to earth on the palate with a very long finish.
