Lucien Le Moine Corton-Charlemagne blanc 2010

The 2010 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, which comes from the west side of the hill in Pernand, was never racked and had its first dose of sulphur not until July 2012. It has a heavenly bouquet with subtle scents of white peach and shaved almond that show wonderful definition and typicite. The palate is well-balanced with pleasing volume and depth on the entry, those leesy characteristics brimming to the surface but never obscuring the terroir. It is a very focused Corton-Charlemagne, exerting a gentle but insistent grip with a slight creaminess to the texture on the finish that needs just a soupcon more complexity to justify the promise of the nose.
