Community Tasting Note

Saturday, September 16, 2023 - 93/95

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
