Young but delicious. Dry and balanced — 7 months ago
All of the grapes from the vineyards owned by the Latour family are vinified and aged in the cuverie of Château Corton Grancey in Aloxe-Corton. The winery was the first purpose-built cuverie in France and remains the oldest still-functioning. Medium pale lemon color with aromas of stone fruits with a slight nutty floral character. On the palate flavors of peach and melon with lemon citrus and savory notes. Medium+ finish, lively acidity, ending with fruit, toasty oak and minerality. Nice! — 2 months ago
Tasted blind. From magnum. Medium gold color, leesy nose. Notes of citrus, almond paste, mint, grapefruit and some ginger. Rich and glycerol in the mouth. Lots of acidity. We're all over the map on deciphering what this is. But we circle back to Burgundy and my guess is 89 Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlie. This wine tonight certainly benefited from aging in the magnum format... we're all amazed at the freshness and quality this 92 still had. — 2 years ago

👃On the nose this wine had a medium intensity of youthful aromas. Aromas included primary notes of pear and apple tart, ripe apricot, lemon curd, and wet stone; also secondary notes of cream, butter, and vanilla.

This wine was balanced, delicate, and demure. An elegant Chardonnay grown on the hillsides of the Montagne de Corton in the Grand Cru appellation of Corton-Charlemagne within the Côte de Beaune region of Burgundy. I would love to pair this with lobster tail or scallops and risotto...

Crystalline in the glass. Pure presentation of citrus fruits and moderate sweetness, with lots of detail on the mid-palate. A beauty which will cellar for many years to come. — 2 months ago
