Domaine d'Ardhuy Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru - Blanc - 2022

Wine:

After aeration, this young 2022 Corton Grand Cru Charlemagne offers us the charm of its terroir, pleasant toasted-grilled notes that signal a still somewhat luxurious ageing, a very pure aroma that will lead with ageing to beautiful notes of toasted hazelnut and fine creamy, fresh butter aromas so dear to the best of Burgundy's Chardonnays. Power and minerality could sum up this opening tasting, as well as the concentration of its sparkling fruit. Buoyed by its youthful, present ageing, this wine reveals the stature of a grand cru, with a persistence and scope that will work wonders with ageing and on your table! Rated 94/100 by our committee!
