Vincent Girardin Corton Charlemagne "Quintessence" Grand Cru Branco

Description

“This Corton-Charlemagne ‘Quintessence’ is a bold statement – it genuinely feels like it’s had a spirited discussion with the sun of the Côte de Beaune. The 70-year-old vines demand respect, reflected in the tightly managed yield of just 42hl/ha. The clay-chalk soils, benefiting from their exceptional south-facing aspect, contribute to a wonderfully complex aromatic profile, further enhanced by the use of 30% new French oak barrels. The result is a remarkably elegant wine, truly embodying ‘Quintessence’, and a superb match for a classic duck à l’orange.”
