Corton Charlemagne 2015 Joseph Drouhin

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (94)

The 2015 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru comes from the lieu-dits of "Les Longuettes" and I tasted from barrel the cuvée owned by the Drouhin family (there is an alternative négoçiant bottling, albeit from another sector). It has a pretty, fragrant bouquet with hints of grilled walnut and smoke. The palate is well balanced, quite generous for a Corton-Charlemagne, rounded in the mouth with subtle tropical notes, mango and guava, towards the finish. This is a superb Corton-Charlemagne from team Drouhin.

Sample. Concentrated and tight - a bit like fermented essence of lemon cough sweets. Grainy tannins on the end and very assertive. Good structure. Even a hint of quinine on the end. Dense.
