“An exceptional vintage”

“The 2017 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is magnificent, unfolding in the glass with aromas of citrus oil, yellow pear, fresh bread, and pastry cream. Moderately dense to dense, it is elegantly textured, precise, and finely structured, with a subtle depth and persistence despite its understated profile. It is very well made.” (Wine Advocate 2020)

Wine rated (2020 guide) 94/100

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)

About the wine:

Subtle notes of chalk, earth, vanilla, cream, and stone create an irresistible nose for this wine. On the palate, these elements unfold with a rich, velvety texture and apparent ease. Everything is anchored in concentration and a core of fruit. This wine is balanced, concentrated, understated, long, and persistent. The stony, creamy finish is a real highlight. Best enjoyed through 2035.
