Description :

A ripe and classic nose of distinctly discreet and reserved green fruit and floral aromas that are airy, pure and lightly spiced merge into intense, precise and penetrating medium full flavors blessed with terrific acid/fruit balance and huge length. This is really a lovely wine

Allen Meadows’s Burgendy reference :

"Jean-Charles le Bault de la Morinière told me that “the 2007 growing season began atypically early with several periods of excess and in several directions, which is to say too early, too hot, too cold, too wet and finally, just right. It would be fair to say that the weather during the season was erratic but thankfully, when it was most critical, the harvest conditions were ideal.

We began picking on the 3rd of September with one parcel of pinot and then returned on the 9th for the second parcel. The fruit was quite clean and I estimate that we had a sorting loss of no more than 3%, which translates into net yields of 27.4 hl/ha for the Corton. We did a soft vinification that lasted between 19 and 21 days and finally racked into barrel on the 4th of October. I like the style of the vintage as it’s very pure and very Corton. It’s a worthy successor to 2006 and while it’s not quite as structured, it’s perhaps more elegant still."

Notes de dégustation

Robert Parker : 92-94 points
"Jean-Charles Le Bault de Martray has established a singular track record for wine from a single large parcel in the heart of the original Charlemagne vineyards of Corton. His distinctive methods typically include separate fermentation of each vineyard block; a year in barrel with late summer malolactic; and a full six months on the fine lees in tank, in which state I tasted his 2006 Corton-Charlemagne. An architect by training, Le Bault de Martray values -brightness, precision and proportionality- and it is easy to see those virtues exemplified in this wine, characterized by clarity, subtlety, firmness of structure, and sheer refreshment unusual for the vintage. Scents of fresh lime, heliotrope and white peach usher in a subtly-creamy yet persistently bright and juicy display of continued citrus, peach, and inner-mouth floral notes. Airy and elegant, this finishes almost delicately but tenaciously. Le Bault de Martray cautions that his Corton-Charlemagne virtually uniformly -shuts down- for several years soon after bottling. I would recommend planning on revisiting this 2006 in 3-5 years and it should repay at least an additional decade’s bottle maturation. The palpable extract and depth of sweet-saline, savor in the 2005 put it in a similar league and in line for a similarly long life." (déc 2008)

Allen Meadows : 94 points
"The ’06 is more obviously riper than the ’07 with a complex, ripe and elegant mix of green apple, spice and minerality that complements perfectly the round, rich, detailed and stony flavors that possess ample mid-palate fat and superb depth of material, all wrapped in a gorgeously long and drenching finish. A study in harmony and grace that should also age well for years.." (Jul 2008)

Bettane&Desseauve : 18,5/20
"Le caractère du millésime a un peu perturbé le style habituel du domaine et a donné un vin plus gras, plus enrobé, un peu moins précis en primeur au même âge que le 2005 mais il n’a pas dit son dernier mot !"

Les Meilleurs vins de France 2009 : 17/20
"Le Corton Charlemagne est d’une très grande précision de bouche, longiligne, avec une finale légèrement soulignée par l’élevage ; l’ensemble est très long."
