Corton Charlemagne, Domaine Bruno Clair 2023

Offering up notes of sweet citrus oil, white flowers and freshly baked bread, the 2023 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and pure, with a sweet core of fruit, lively acids and chalky grip on the finish.

Sharp and piercing, great acidity drives this wine but really accompanied by a warm butter, toasted bread element but not overly so - brioche patisserie with lemon, peach, grapefruit and nectarine fruit. A dash of pineapple too - both fresh juice and bitterness - which is great. Complex and well built, I can see this growing over time and being extremely enjoyable.
