Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The 2011 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru from Louis Jadot has a more open and generous bouquet than Louis Latour’s, bridled with light limestone and green apple scents, touches of patisserie in the background originating from the oak that is in synch with the fruit profile. The palate is clean and fresh with a vibrant thread of acidity, good tension with citrus lemon and fresh lime. It finishes with a linear, poised finish that is as fresh as a daisy.

Apple, lemon and spice flavors seem straightforward, but this white sneaks up on you, building in intensity to a long finish. The oak is discreet, showing a balanced mix of fruit and spice notes in the aftertaste. Drink now through 2021. 155 cases imported.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Corton-Charlemagne Select to Add
