Tasting notes
The 2023 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru comes from the lieu-dit of Languettes on marl soils. It was picked on September 12 and aged in 30% new oak for 15 months. This is a little more extroverted on the nose compared to numerous others tasted from barrel, with yellow fruit yet again, commingling with meringue and yuzu scents. The palate is full-bodied for a Corton-Charlemagne with a slightly more tempered richness than the preceding Meursault-Charmes. There is plenty of extract, turning quite spicy toward a finish that comes across a bit smudged at the moment.

The holding is in Les Languettes, rows running north-south. Much classier on the nose, a feeling of the appellation. Clear-cut, fresh, minerals, white fruit. An excellent overview, then perhaps a little bit of warmth and a touch of barrel toast. But this is heading in the right direction.
