The palate is rich and full-bodied, with a beautiful balance between fruitiness and acidity. Flavors of ripe apple, lemon zest, and white peach dominate, complemented by a subtle minerality that adds depth and complexity. The wine's long and elegant finish leaves a lasting impression.
The Jean-Claude Boisset Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but it also has great aging potential. It pairs wonderfully with seafood dishes, particularly lobster and scallops, as well as poultry and creamy cheeses.
