GRAPES VARITETIES: Chardonnay
TASTING NOTES: Upon tasting, this 2003 Corton-Charlemagne reveals an opulent bouquet of ripe stone fruits, smoky oak, and hints of buttery brioche — a gallant nod to its time in barrel. On the palate, it unfurls layer upon layer: summer apple compote interlaced with toasted hazelnut and a vein of flinty minerality persisting throughout.
FOOD PAIRINGS: Beef | Duck | Chicken
