Joseph Drouhin Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 2015 (750ML)

93-95 WA

The 2015 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru comes from the lieu-dits of "Les Longuettes" and I tasted from barrel the cuvée owned by the Drouhin family (there is an alternative négoçiant bottling, albeit from another sector). It has a pretty, fragrant bouquet with hints of grilled walnut and smoke. The palate is well balanced, quite generous for a Corton-Charlemagne, rounded in the mouth with subtle tropical notes, mango and guava, towards the finish. This is a superb Corton-Charlemagne from team Drouhin.
