A brilliant wine, the 2019 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Quintessence de Corton-Charlemagne unfurls in the glass with aromas of pear, citrus oil and peach, mingled with hints of hazelnuts, freshly baked bread and dried white flowers, framed by a deft touch of youthful reduction. Full-bodied, muscular and multidimensional, it’s deep and layered, with huge reserves of concentration and structuring extract, girdled by vibrant acids. Long and penetrating, it derives from a single parcel in Aloxe Corton below the (recently demolished) cross.
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.

Burgundy: A Tapestry of Terroirs and Subregions Burgundy, often referred to as Bourgogne in French, is an illustrious wine region in eastern France celebrated for its remarkable diversity of terroirs.

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.

92-94 A wonderfully fresh nose combines notes of just sliced green apple and citrus confit with those of essence of dried flowers and a whisper of exotic tea. There is excellent punch and power to the larger-scaled flavors that display a touch of muscle on the austere, serious and balanced finale. While the finish does flirt with rusticity, I suspect that this will gradually dissipate with bottle age.

89-90 The 2019 Corton-Charlemagne “Quintessence” Grand Cru comes from the Aloxe-Corton side, from a climat, and is made with purchased grapes from vines around 55–60 years old. The rather muted nose has trouble following on from the clearly more expressive Puligny Les Combettes. The palate is balanced with a fine bead of acidity, but the truth is that I find this missing the complexity and mineralité of a Grand Cru, surpassed by some of Girardin’s excellent Premier Crus this vintage.
Winery Notes
A powerful and mineral wine. The situation of the plot in altitude and composition (hard limestone) give this wine a refreshing minerality and a unique, hence the name "Quintessence" ...
