First introduced in 1937, Corton-Charlemagne is a prestigious Grand Cru appellation for white wines produced across much of the top portion of Montagne de Corton. Considered one of the finest white wines in Burgundy, Corton-Charlemagne tends to combine vibrant fruit flavours with a distinctive minerality. This 2009 vintage release from Louis Jadot comes from one of the oldest vineyards owned by the Maison. The Chardonnay grapes are picked by hand, gently pressed and then fermented in oak barrels, one third of which are new. Aging lasts about 15 months on fine lees before bottling.

Louis Latour owns 9.65 ha of this! Some real zest to this on the nose. Rich, even ‘buttery’ in the style of old-fashioned Meursaults! Very rich palate entry and real weight. This is clearly Grand Cru quality. I can see this being lapped up in well-heeled banqueting rooms around the globe. Early developer. Not especially persistent. So not a great Grand Cru, just a competent one. (JR)Jancis Robinson7th January 2011
