Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay

A punchy nose with struck match, honeyed lime. Stone and flint. Rick and great acidity subtly laced throughout. Excellent

Lovely and lucid. Lime and slate and great acidity. Real focus and presence.

Mineral driven vineyard driven beauty . Lots of yellow fruit minerals , saline and white flowers . Dense and focused plate with lots of dry extract and saline on the log lingering finish .

I had this out of coravin and man, did it underdeliver. Not sure if that was it but even after about 45 minutes it was still tight and lacking in acid and overall expression. Perhaps it’s young and has to be aged but I have had much better burgundy for less many times.

A woody nose with hint of charcoal More savoury than fruit driven. There’s Dry Extract again. The oak puts this wine a little out of balance. My least pointed Wine in this bracket and yet when revealed it has been one of my favourite White Burgundies over the years.

Mind bending.

2014. So youthful and concentrated but already possessing a generosity and stylish poise. Lemon curd, prominent acid and beautiful, subtle spicy oak. This is sheer class. One of this years greats

Wow! So complex. Part of a foreign cinema 2014 burgundy explorer tasting. It had a wonderful earth, fruit, popcorn, creamy texture that evolved over the hour. It went great with a creamy cod and toast course. One of my favorite Chardonnay’s I’ve had.

A tad too much wood char for my palate.

Oak aroma. Tasty. Balanced acidity. bonneau du martray corton charlemagne grand cru chardonnay 2014 @, yuyuelou, 210320
