【A legend-in-the-making, 98-point rated Grand Cru from one of Burgundy's most revered white wine producers.】
This 2017 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru reveals a deep yet youthfully reserved bouquet of citrus oil, ripe pear, toasted sesame, and smoke. On the palate, it is full-bodied, multidimensional, and complete, showcasing a muscular, concentrated, and tightly knit core that leads to a long, intensely mineral finish. Neal Martin further describes a "stupendous, bewilderingly complex bouquet of orange pith, pralines, crushed stone, pressed yellow flowers and, with aeration, honeysuckle aromas," with power, intensity, elegance, and nuances of orange peel and Seville orange marmalade. Community reviews highlight its incredible length, a "firework display" of flavors, with notes of roundness, honey, vanilla, and almonds.
🍴 Food pairing suggestions: This exquisite white Burgundy is a perfect match for luxurious dishes such as pan-seared scallops, roasted lobster with butter sauce, rich fish like turbot or halibut, or poultry in a creamy sauce. For a Western pairing, consider chicken à la crème or veal blanquette. For an Eastern pairing, try steamed garoupa with ginger and spring onion, or a delicate bird's nest soup.
🥂 Event suggestions: This is an ideal wine for a momentous celebration, a high-end gourmet dinner, or a serious white Burgundy tasting. Its significant aging potential also makes it a prime candidate for cellaring to mark future milestones.
