The 2011 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru (which goes through a relatively early malolactic) has a focused toffee apple, apricot blossom and wax resin bouquet. There is even a suggestion of licorice that lends it another dimension. The palate is well-balanced and very pure on the entry with subtle notes of dried apricot and lime, a twist of sour lemon and a long, harmonious finish. This is very endearing and will surely age with style.
