Bottle 0541. Killer chardonnay. The nose is a bit riper, with some sweet apple and pear and other orchard fruit notes, as well as a slight matchstick note. The fruit comes across as a little bit riper, but it's still very much restrained. The palate is generous but racy, with good length and breadth -- the breadth as expected for a Corton-Charlemagne, and the length driven by a great combination of concentrated fruit, the egg custard notes I find with well-executed oak, and that delicious 2010 acidity.

Terroirs de Corton - Les Grands Jours (Corton Burgundy): Wine tasting. Lush ripe apple aromas, with almost a poached pear character. Similar fruit on palate, with spice coming through in middle. Good acid level and textures. Very good CC.
