Jean-Marc Roulot Corton-Charlemagne 2019 Magnum (1.5L)

This is a 2019 Corton-Charlemagne from Burgundy, made by Jean-Marc Roulot and bottled in a 1.5 litre magnum. The wine comes from purchased grapes, farmed organically, which are hand-harvested and carefully sorted. It is then vinified, raised and bottled in the Roulot cellars. The nose is yeasty, with flax, polenta, subtle wood and a smoky background of lime. The palate is powerful and compact, with a hint of reductive character, and the minerality holds the structure in balance.
