Description
Allen Meadows: This is presently sufficiently reduced that I would
strongly recommend decanting it if you're tempted to try one young.
Here the aromatic profile is distinctly different from any of the
preceding grands crus as the primary fruit element is green rather
than white or yellow though there are apple, pear and plenty of
mineral notes in the background. The rich, powerful and focused
big-bodied flavors exhibit almost painful intensity as there is a
plethora of mouth coating extract that buffers the very firm tannic
spine that allows all of this size and weight to remain exquisitely
well-balanced. This is not quite as complex or persistent as the
Montrachet but it's not far off and in any case, it does precisely
what it's supposed to do which is to be an excellent example of
Corton-Charlemagne, not Montrachet.
