Tasting Note:
The 2019 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru from Chapuis & Chapuis is a powerful yet precise expression of Chardonnay. It opens with aromas of ripe orchard fruits, citrus zest, and subtle notes of hazelnut and flint. On the palate, it offers a harmonious balance of richness and minerality, featuring flavors of lemon curd, green apple, and a touch of toasted almond. The wine's vibrant acidity and structured finish suggest excellent aging potential.

Food Pairings:
Ideal with dishes like lobster thermidor, roasted poultry with creamy sauces, or aged Comté cheese. Its complexity and depth also make it a delightful companion to truffle-infused risottos or seared scallops.
