Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru Blanc 2022 3000ml

The 2022 Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru from Philippe Pacalet exemplifies the majesty of this legendary white wine terroir while showcasing Pacalet's minimalist, terroir-focused winemaking approach.

The nose is profound and aristocratic, offering layers of citrus, ripe white fruits, and crushed stones, enhanced by subtle notes of white flowers and fresh almonds. The aromatic profile shows exceptional precision and intensity, reflecting both the power of Corton Charlemagne and the warmth of the 2022 vintage.

On the palate, the wine displays impressive concentration and power characteristic of this grand cru, with a core of rich fruit balanced by vibrant acidity and pronounced mineral tension. The structure is commanding yet refined, showing both the ripeness of 2022 and the natural freshness from the vineyard's elevated position and exposure. The finish is extraordinarily long and detailed, with waves of fruit, stone, and subtle salinity that continue to unfold.

This wine brilliantly captures both the nobility of Corton Charlemagne and Pacalet's ability to let this exceptional terroir speak clearly through minimal intervention winemaking.
