The 2018 Esprit Leflaive Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is a remarkable white Burgundy, born from the collaboration that began in the 2018 vintage, extending the Leflaive expertise beyond the Côte de Beaune. The 2018 vintage in Burgundy was largely very good, notable for having one of the hottest, driest growing seasons since 2003, yet it offered generous volumes and superb quality. This wine is an expression of one of the pillars of white wine, Corton-Charlemagne, crafted with the spirit of Leflaive. 【A dream vintage which offers generous volumes and superb quality】.
