Tasting notes
Note: from En Charlemagne in Pernand. An attractively fresh and airy nose features smoky notes of mostly Granny Smith apple and citrus along with background hints of crushed fennel and wet stone. There is slightly better volume to the seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that exude evident minerality on the sappy, balanced and firmly structured finale. This is not the densest example of CC you will come across but the length is stunningly good plus, as with all of the upper level wines in the range, it is clearly constructed to age so patience is strongly recommended.

The 2023 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has an effervescent bouquet, with just a little reduction and touches of yellow fruit and beeswax. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly viscous texture, lower acidity than the 2022, fine depth and a lightly spiced finish. The 2023 is a little difficult to read at the moment.(NM)
The 2023 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru reveals aromas of sweet citrus fruit, ripe peaches, freshly baked bread, white flowers and struck match. Medium to full-bodied, rich and textural, it's a comparatively broad, unctuous rendition of this cuvée.
Two parcels: 40% in the lieu-dit En Charlemagne, 60% in Les Languettes. Cask sample. Mid lemon. Ripe but taught fruit. Intense with real weight and mass. Powerful. (MH)
