I have to admit, this was hopefully getting better through aeration, so I upgraded the mark a bit along the tasting, when I was first a bit disappointed !
Day one, which was Sep 18, through Coravin, the wine was ok, showing buttery and a bit limp ... but day two showed what the wine had in its guts !
Lots of toffee, and salty caramel, then with air, complex nose of bee wax, ripe apple and pear... buttery but not fat, more like a brioche, croissant... viennoiserie !
Firstly a little limp, it gained depth and acidity along the tasting showing how intense that area can get, and how powerful the Corton Terroir grows both in bottle and in glass ! It was long, powerful yet balanced and still gaining zingy tartness along the evening ! The Charmes 2011 felt oxidized next to that monster Chardonnay !
What a tremendous wine in a so called warm vintage, I felt like I d be disappointed ! One left in the cellar, and I feel like not touching the younger ones ! so glad I opened it -

August 4, 2023 - 10th of 12, decanted 45 minutes, perfect cork and level, even better as it approaches proper maturity is exchanging puppy fat for concentration, fruit intensity and steel, upside, 15+ years. VF (18.5)......I broached these too soon as this is showing ageworthiness of BdM!

October 27, 2022 - 9th of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level, another beautiful bottle, maybe slightly tighter and more mineral (a good thing) as it loses the last of its puppy fat, consistent so far, upside, 10+ years. F+ (18).
