Pale yellow. Aromas of dried peach, menthol and nutmeg. Densely packed, dry and youthfully unforthcoming, hinting at peach, pear skin, lime rind, spices and pepper. This broad, vibrant, intense Corton-Charlemagne finishes with white fruits, pepper and firm supporting minerality. I wouldn’t go near this wine for at least a few years but it should evolve gracefully. (Vinous)

Varietal

Chardonnay

Of all the white wine grape varietals, surely the one that has spread the furthest and is most widely appreciated is Chardonnay. This green-skinned grape is now grown all over the Old and New Worlds, from New Zealand to the Americas, from England to Chile, and is one of the first varietals people think of when considering white wine grapes. Perhaps this is because of its huge popularity, which reached a peak in the 1990s, thanks to new technologies combining with traditional methods to bring the very best features out of the Chardonnay grape and allow its unique qualities to shine through. Most fine Chardonnay wines use a process known as malolactic fermentation, wherein the malic acids in the grape juice are converted to lactic acids, allowing a creamier, buttery nature to come forward in the wine. No grape varietal is better suited to this process than Chardonnay, which manages to balance these silky, creamy notes with fresh white fruit flavors beautifully.

Appellation

Cote De Beaune

The beautifully and unforgettable French region of Cote De Beaune has been revered throughout the centuries, and recognized as one of the key producer's of the world's finest white wines. The region is highly respected as an excellent producer of Chardonnay wines, and the Chardonnay grapes which grow there, on the southern slopes of the Cote d'Or, are packed full of the unique and powerful characteristics of this very special terroir. Interestingly, Cote De Beaune produces more red wine than white wine, despite its white wines being so famous. The red wines of Cote De Beaune are mainly made from Pinot Noir, but are relatively very light and fruity in their character, perfect for sipping on a warm, sunny day alongside a wide range of foods.

Wine Advocate

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2012 tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru from Patrick Javillier has an attractive nose with scents of white peach and yellow flowers, flanked by a fragrant scent of honeysuckle with time in the glass. The palate does not fulfil the promise of the nose: quite waxy, slightly honeyed in texture with good acidity, but it does not have the same degree of delineation as Louis Jadot’s Corton-Charlemagne, plus there is just a touch of bitterness on the finish. There is potential here, but it is not being realized yet. I strongly suspect it would receive a higher score with further bottle age.
