WINE DESCRIPTION
Maison Champy Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is a highly sought-after wine produced by Maison Champy, one of the oldest wineries in Burgundy. This wine comes from the Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru appellation, which is known for its exceptional terroir and vineyard features. The grapes are grown on steep slopes with limestone-rich soils, which impart a unique minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is a beautifully balanced and elegant expression of Chardonnay, with notes of citrus, white flowers, and a subtle hint of oak. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate the finesse and complexity of Burgundy wines.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Maison Champy Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is a delightful wine with a beautiful golden hue.On the nose, it presents aromas of honey, white flowers, and ripe citrus. On the palate, it is full-bodied, creamy and complex, with notes of yellow apple, pear, and a hint of toasted hazelnut. The finish is long and persistent, with a hint of spice. Overall, it is an excellent expression of a Grand Cru white Burgundy, and well worth the price.
