Goedhuis, May 2018
Despite Laurent’s use of no new oak at all, this wine has a toasty, smoky bacon edge, derived purely from the fabulous fruit of Corton Charlemagne. Along with this complex, savoury aroma is a ripe abundance of tropical fruit, including mango, pineapple and sweet lime. The palate is vibrant and powerful, with broad fruit spilling across the palate. Persistent citrus notes lift the finish.
Region
Corton Charlemagne
As legend goes, Charlemagne, king of the Franks, ordered Chardonnay planted in the vineyard of Corton during his reign in the 8th century so as he would not stain his light-coloured beard during moments of great thirst. This may be mere romantic fallacy, but what cannot be denied is the exceptional quality of this Grand Cru appellation in Aloxe Corton in the Cote de Beaune.
