Wine information
65 % of the Chardonnay comes from the Grand Cru vineyard Corton Bressandes and 35 % from Corton Les Chaumes. Thus, this Chardonnay comes from sites that were actually reserved for Pinot Noir. These sites are characterised by bajocium and Oxford limestone with pebbles, clay and a high iron content. The Chardonnay was pressed in whole bunches.
Color
intense straw yellow
Nose
The white Corton from the red soils offers an exciting and complex aromatic picture. At the start, the Chardonnay reminds of pears, pineapple and Charantais melons in combination with a little smoke and wood. This is gradually joined by citrus notes, coriander, jasmine and clover, chalk, a little papaya and a fine herbal spiciness.
Palate
On the palate the 2019 Corton blanc Creamy and sensual at first. Almond cream comes to mind, then lemon curd, again pineapple and fresh lemons. The grand cru becomes more and more juicy and crystalline, showing a light tannin and a distinct minerality. In the finale, the Corton juicier and juicier, not least because of the slight saltiness it contains. It still seems very closed, but will find and develop more and more over the years.
