Benjamin Leroux, Corton Charlemagne 2012

The Corton-Charlie 2012 from Benjamin Leroux is currently showing a fine balance between power and refinement. In the nose lovely ripe white and yellow orchard fruits, focused with notes of gun powder and citrus infused minerality. On the palate quite rich but focused – offering a nice precise display of terroir. It’s a refined rather than a powerful Charlie – showing fine balance and drinkability … a very enjoyable Charlie..
