Domaine Bruno Clair - Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru White 2022

Grape

100% Chardonnay

Tasting notes

This Grand Cru white Burgundy is a study in precision and restraint. The nose opens with bright citrus, lemon verbena, and orange pith, revealing a subtle aromatic complexity. On the palate, it is tense and linear, offering impressive energy and length. Layers of Golden Delicious apple, crushed stone, and a hint of marzipan emerge with air, wrapped in a mineral core.

Still tightly wound, this wine promises exceptional ageing potential and will reward cellaring. A brilliant and focused expression of Corton-Charlemagne that speaks to both terroir and meticulous craftsmanship.
