David Moret Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2022
£259.25
The wine
One of the great white wines of the world, Corton-Charlemagne from the famed grand cru hill of Aloxe-Corton. Pure Chardonnay from David Moret, built for the very long haul.
Aromas of citrus, white flowers, hazelnut, flint and honey. The palate is powerful yet precise, with profound minerality, layered stone fruit and a finish of extraordinary length. A majestic, ageworthy white.
A wine for grand occasions, superb with lobster, poultry in cream or aged cheeses. Lightly chilled, and worth decanting well ahead.
The producer
David Moret
View all David Moret winesDavid Moret is a respected négociant-éleveur based in Beaune, at the heart of Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Since establishing his own house, he has built a reputation for immaculate white Burgundy from the great villages of the Côte de Beaune. His name is a mark of purity and precision.
Working with carefully sourced grapes from Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and beyond, Moret is above all a master of élevage, the art of ageing. The famed limestone soils of the Côte give his Chardonnays their cut and minerality. Only the finest parcels make the cut.
In the cellar, restraint and patience define the style. Wines are barrel-aged with a judicious touch of oak, always in service of freshness and terroir. The results are taut, mineral and beautifully balanced, from village wines to grand cru.
From an everyday Aligoté to the majestic Corton-Charlemagne, David Moret offers white Burgundy at its most refined. Precise, ageworthy and true to their origins, these are wines for lovers of the Côte d'Or.
