La Tour Charlemagne

Château Tour Saint-Christophe

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

9.4

The nose opens with waves of ripe black cherry, cassis, plum liqueur, and dark chocolate Beneath the opulence lies impressive complexity with hints of espresso, violets, and peppery spice emerge gradually with air. The palate is dense and supple, showing warmth and generosity. Plenty of nuance beneath the lavish fruit.

Possibly the best value for a St-Emilion GCC. Will need to seek out more.

Sounds awesome! I’ve been wanting to explore more Right Bank. Sounds like a good one at a reasonable price.

@Joel Lara For around $40, I think you will be happy with the purchase.

Domaine des Héritiers Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay 2022

Yellow with aromas of dandelion, pear, steely minerality, and candied apple. Nice acidity, long finish, and luscious. Flavors of candied apple and grassy notes. Wonderful! — 2 months ago

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay 2008

Full golden color in the glass. It leads with dried pineapple and maybe dried apricot, with a lot of intensity on the nose. The palate confirms it, adding a slight spicy note with a surprising bit of phenolic grip and enough acidity to balance, though it has gone clearly past its prime. — a month ago

@Peter van den Besselaar, is this a special cuvée/bottling of this wine?

@Doug Powers No. The pilanthropist Osiris gifted the chateau to the French state in 1907. It has been a viticulture school ever since.

Domaine Antonin Guyon

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay 2010

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2010 Corton-Charlemagne pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of green apple, passion fruit, lemon, white flowers, slivered almond and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and slightly buttery. Apparently, this vintage had a reputation for suffering from some premox issues. This bottle was pristine. Based off this example, drink now through 2035. — a month ago

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay 2013

Stunner. Needs air as all PYCM does but it’s electric tonight, layered and complete with killer density, definition and massive length on the saline-mineral inflicted finish. Special wine! — 2 months ago
