Domaine De Montille Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 750mL
"Corton" comes from "Cort is Ottoni", the royal domain of Otton the Great, Charlemagne’s grandson who became Otton the First, King of Germany and France after his coronation in 936 in Aix-la-Chapelle. It is said that Charlemagne gave this vast vineyard to the abbey of Saint Antoche de Saulieu in 775. The monks decided to call the vineyard "Charlemagne" to thank their benefactor.
A broad-ranging nose offers up notes of matchstick, apple, lavender, wet stone and citrus rind. Not surprisingly there is more size and weight to the muscular and powerful big-bodied flavors that once again exhibit plenty of minerality on the very rich, complex and impressively long finish.
This isn't a classic example but the complexity and balance are lovely and this should mature into an excellent wine.
