  • First Corton Charlemagne from de Montille and I was pretty impressed. Closed with Diam 30. Started off a bit tight with some reduction, but ripe and pure orchard fruits and minerality underneath. With air this opened more and more with ripe orchard fruit and eventually a hint of tropical fruit with mango and pineapple, but always underpinned by crushed stone and some salinity. The palate was very balanced and had lovely freshness and intensity. Probably wouldn't have guessed '15 blind given the energy. Continued to expand and develop throughout the meal. One of the better CCs I've had and certainly a solid value. I think de Montille is underrated for their whites as I've had very good examples of their Meursault Perrieres and Puligny Caillerets as well. And given the Diam closure you can probably feel somewhat safe aging this a bit as it was super fresh at 8.

  • A slightly floral nose and nutty palate at first
    Creamier than I might've expected

    As time wore on more lemon on the nose and in the mouth

    Overall a much more subtle affair

  • Light yellow color, fresh and salty scents with hints of seashell, lemon, peach pits and melon, balanced to perfection, bright and energetic, complete, long and delicious, drinking well now, great with a variety of sushi and great in general, will keep well but drinking grandly

  • Domaine Montille Corton-Charlemagne 2015.
    Småpent, men litt tropisk og noe som skurrer litt uten at jeg kan sette fingern på det.
    Litt flabby munnfølelse - spriker litt i alle retninger her.
    Får ikke helt taket på denne.
    Høy konsentrasjon.
    Lang, dog litt slapp finish.
    Først etter en stund kjenner man en pen mineralitet.
    Kons og lengde har den, ellers var ikke dette spesielt imponerende. 88p
