Drawn from parcels across Le Charlemagne and En Charlemagne, the wine reflects a season of healthy yields, balanced ripeness and a clear sense of place. It carries generous fruit held by mineral precision, delivering a grand cru of depth, tension and quiet authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"458\" data-end=\"1005\"\u003eHarvest took place in early September, with pristine fruit requiring minimal sorting. The domaine’s measured approach in the cellar preserved the vintage’s natural richness while maintaining freshness, resulting in a wine that feels complete and finely structured. Citrus, orchard fruit and subtle hazelnut sit within a frame of chalky definition, sustained by acidity that lifts rather than dominates. It is a poised and long lived expression of Corton Charlemagne, particularly suited to dishes such as roast chicken or steamed Moreton Bay bugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1007\" data-end=\"1359\"\u003eThe 2022 release highlights the breadth of the Corton hill, where differences in aspect and elevation contribute layers of complexity. The wine balances opulence with restraint, presenting a clarity that will unfurl steadily over time. Many critics expect decades of graceful evolution, supported by the vintage’s concentration and enduring minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1361\" data-end=\"1497\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1374\" data-end=\"1377\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1381\" data-end=\"1384\"\u003e – Ripe and mineral\u003cbr data-start=\"1402\" data-end=\"1405\"\u003e Aromas of apple, quince and white flowers with hints of hazelnut, citrus and gentle spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1499\" data-end=\"1638\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1505\" data-end=\"1508\"\u003e – Layered and focused\u003cbr data-start=\"1529\" data-end=\"1532\"\u003e Citrus and orchard fruit glide across a firm, finely textured palate with mineral drive and gentle grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1640\" data-end=\"1748\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1646\" data-end=\"1649\"\u003e – Long and chalky\u003cbr data-start=\"1666\" data-end=\"1669\"\u003e Persistent length supported by fresh acidity and a lingering chalky impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1750\" data-end=\"2128\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1769\" data-end=\"1772\"\u003e \u003cem\u003e“Luxuriously ripe apple and quince aromas with dense yet balanced texture.
