So young. Amazingly linear and pure. Deft use of oak. Lovely earthy and pure.

Perfect wine for baking a cake. According to Natalie's book on french parenting, we're supposed to be feeding Ella yogurt cake

Pop and 1.5 hrs slow ox. My initial read on this was that it was slightly faded, but I think that might just be a stylistic choice. Lovely bright nose, with good lemon and apple, but surprisingly light in style and surprisingly soft for a Corton Charlemagne. On the palate: fresh, with good acidity. Again, surprisingly soft. Maybe more Pernand-Vergelesses 1er than CC in my book. Ok.

A bit tired. Not premoxed. Ok. Not great.

Still a baby but very promising, with intense mineral and floral character, chewy texture and superb persistence.
