  A good if not great rendition of this wine. Fruit is mellow with some brightness, but not quite the length or persistence of a Grand Cru. Perhaps it could develop further but I’m doubtful of it’s ultimate outcome.

  Nose: Guava, brioche, flint stone, pear
  Notes: relativelt light bodied with a nicely balanced minerality profile here, just the right amount without the "steely" and intimidating palate. I've had the chance to try its 11 and 12 and I think the 13 has a more balanced profile. This wine is still very young and lively, no signs of oxidation and should last for at least another decade. Nevertheless, it is a bit unfortunate that Montille whites can sometimes be lacking the intensity that belongs to a well made grand cru white, certainly a good wine but it is often the intensity and details that differentiates a good and great wine. I think I can conclude that Montille Corton Charlemagne does not offer the type of sensation that I'm looking for in a great white wine.

  Flinty nose with peach, grapefruit and stone fruit. More Puligny than CC. Prefer more fatness for a CC.

  Lots of acidity here and a bit on the tart side. Also, somewhat light for this vineyard. Still, a nice wine, but perhaps will not turn into a great one.

  8/13/2022 - Elpaninaro Likes this wine:

  medium yellow color, on the nose quiet, light game note, on the palate thick and textured, buttery ripe fruit countered with firm acids, very primary and somewhat in hiding, at the moment this comes off a bit hollow but that could be the the timing, with airing it developed it fleshed out nicely with a good firm finish, should age well but I do not think it will have the full drama of a great Corton-Charlemagne.
