Corton Grand Gru Les Grandes Lolières

While the Corton-Charlemagne is presently the only white Grand Cru in the Esprit range, similarly from the hill of Corton, this sole red Grand Cru on offer comes from the lieu-dit of “Les Grandes Lolières” which is on the Ladoix side, with lovely mid-slope exposition similar to “Les Bressandes.” While there is definite structure to the wine, again there is no heavy-handedness and a grace perhaps only possible in being a pinot noir expressed through the savoir-faire of a chardonnay domaine. Immense potential here.
