Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay

Medium gold, smells older but not overly so. Notes of lemon, ginger, clay soil something floral and a little vanilla. Nice balance of fruit and structure. Sneaky acidity. Really nice showing tonight.

Dark gold and a whiff of golden corn on the nose. The palate is fresh, strident and gorgeous. Real drive and acidity but a sweet edged ripe fruit, mint and lovely slatey balance. If I had more bottles I’d check in soon as these could possibly be at the start of premox, but right now this is lush, dynamic and strident. Very good.

Sadly oxidized which is the typical issue for this producer in this time frame. :(

Opened up eventually.

Carrying a little extra weight around the edges... A little extra weight and butter.

Spectacular and unfortunately my last bottle of 2002
