NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru from Benjamin Leroux is a stunning expression of Chardonnay from the Côte de Beaune region of Burgundy.On the nose, it offers complex notes of ripe apple, white peach, honeycomb and citrus zest. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and creamy, with intense flavors of citrus, stone fruit and minerality. The finish is lengthy and elegant, with a hint of toasted oak and a hint of spice. Deliciously complex, this is an excellent wine to savor.
