Critics Scores

DECANTER
95

Decanter

Ben Leroux combines fruit from En Charlemagne in Pernand-Vergelesses and Les Languettes in Aloxe-Corton to produce his textbook Corton-Charlemagne, which marries power with elegance and minerality. Richly textured yet racy, it has taut acidity and fine, spicy oak.

VINOUS
93

Vinous

Restrained aromas of peach and brown spices. Sappy, broad and savory, conveying a thickness of texture without heaviness. The wine's mineral and earth elements dominate its fruit in the early going. I like this concentrated wine's balance of sweetness and salinity, but it still needs more élevage to expand and gain in length. Finishes with strong minerality and a tannic impression that reminded me of a red wine.
