Corton-Charlemagne Coche-Dury 2005 is a Grand Cru Chardonnay from the Côte de Beaune. This Grand Cru exhibits a marked mineral character alongside nuanced flavours of ripe apple, subtle oak and a touch of flint. The wine’s structure allows for a complex mouthfeel, while the finish is both lasting and saline. Jean-François Coche-Dury, the winemaker, has a reputation for meticulous vineyard practices and traditional winemaking techniques. The domaine holds a 0.88-hectare plot in the Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru.

Is the 2005 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru the greatest white Burgundy ever to grace this Earth? Certainly it lies at the pinnacle of anything I have encountered and let’s be brutally honest, it lays to waste almost every other Corton-Charlemagne that I have ever tasted. This was the fourth time that I have drunk this behemoth and it has always flirted with perfection. Now I am convinced. It is blessed with a breathtaking bouquet, so penetrating, with razor-sharp precision, shucked oyster shell, hints of yellow flower, wet limestone and sea cave. The palate has a sense of balletic balance, a killer line of acidity, a Corton-Charlemagne brimming with energy. It is intense but not powerful per se, fanning out gloriously towards the mineral-rich finish with veins of Clementine and Japanese yuzu, but the key being that mineral tension. Astonishing. Legendary. Tasted at Taillevent restaurant in Paris.
