BouchardCorton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2007 375mL
About this product
Bouchard's Grand Cru Corton-Charlemagne is truly a gift to the world. During the time of Emporer Charlemagne, the Emporer was enamoured with the wines of Corton, but wished to have a wine that did not stain his white beard. Hence, Chardonnay was planted and Corton-Charlemagne was born. Now one of the world's most important Chardonnay vineyards, Corton-Charlemagne has a complex and elegant nose of green apple, wet stone and subtle spices which merge into rich, full and impressively powerful flavours followed by a long and bone-dry finish. Simply outstanding.

A cool, airy, complex and gorgeously elegant nose is more restrained than these Puligny-based grand crus while offering up notes of green apple, pain grillé, stone and very subtle spice notes that merge into rich, full and impressively powerful flavours that possess perhaps the best dry extract levels of any wine in the range as they really stain the palate on the intense, long and bond dry finish that seems to have no end. There isn't quite as much overall depth here as in the Montrachet but otherwise, this succeeds in going toe to toe, which is no small feat given how good the prior wine is.
