Domaine Chevalier Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2022
£140.25
The wine
One of the great white wines of Burgundy, Corton-Charlemagne from the famed grand cru hill. Pure Chardonnay from Domaine Chevalier, built for the 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 long, resonant finish. 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
Domaine Chevalier
View all Domaine Chevalier winesDomaine Chevalier Père et Fils is a family estate in Ladoix-Serrigny, at the northern edge of the Côte de Beaune around the great hill of Corton. Farmed sustainably, it works both red and white across Ladoix, Aloxe-Corton and the grand cru of Corton-Charlemagne. Its wines are a fine-value gateway to the Corton hill.
The domaine grows Chardonnay for its whites and Pinot Noir for its reds, on the limestone and marl soils that ring Corton. Careful farming keeps yields modest and fruit pure. Each appellation is vinified separately to capture its character.
In the cellar, classical winemaking and measured oak ageing produce wines of freshness and depth. The whites are taut and mineral, the reds fragrant and structured, all with real Corton-hill pedigree. Balance and terroir guide the range.
From a village Ladoix to the majestic Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, Domaine Chevalier offers the Corton hill at every level. Pure, ageworthy and keenly priced, these are wines for lovers of classic Burgundy.
