Domaine Faiveley Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru blanc 2022
Intensity and sophistication characterise this Grand Cru from Faiveley. Stone fruit and citrus notes dominate the complex nose; these are complemented by brioche, white flowers and almonds. The palate also reveals plenty of fruit, alongside floral and woody notes. The latter come as no surprise, given that the wine is aged for between 8 and 10 months in 100% new oak. Alongside hazelnut and vanilla, there are notes of peach, apricot, citrus fruits, acacia honey and a chalky minerality. The finish is as long as it is highly elegant. Its powerful and robust character makes this Faiveley the perfect match for sumptuous dishes such as lobster Thermidor or cèpes à la crème. However, its excellent quality naturally also allows it to stand alone throughout an evening by the fireside.
