A miniscule .06 hectare plot on the east facing slope directly below the forest. Planted in 1961
The 2023 Corton Charlemagne Le Charlemagne is such a classy wine. Hints of apricot, orange jam, white flowers and truffle grace the palate. A whole range of tropical inflections follow as this builds from the mid-palate and into the finish. The 2023 is a very good wine, but frankly, it could be better. Then again, production is just a single 350-liter barrel. Making wine at this microscopic scale is fraught with logistical challenges that are impossible to fully compensate for.
