Domaine Coche Dury, Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 2011

"The 2011 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has an exquisite bouquet that truly deserves the phrase “liquid mineral.” Imagine a limestone quarry being melted down and then distilled multiple times until there is just enough to fill your wine glass. The palate has perfect acidity and subtle spicy notes on the entry: hints of lime flower, citrus lemon and a subtle note of mandarin coming through with aeration. Is exhibits balletic poise on the finish." - Wine Advocate

"The nose displays no reduction which allows the elegant, ripe and beautifully layered and mildly toasty aromas of mandarin orange, peach, white flowers, apple, anise and wet stone to shine. There is excellent concentration to the broad-shouldered and moderately powerful flavors that possess a caressing mouth feel on the mid-palate yet the hugely long and pungently stony finish is borderline painfully intense." - Allen Meadows
