Vincent Girardin, Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru Quintessence 2016

"There is enough wood to notice but not so much as to really detract from the elegance of the notably ripe but fresh aromas of various Granny Smith apples, grapefruit and mineral reduction scents. The full-bodied, powerful and dense broad-shouldered flavors brim with dry extract and minerality, both of which can be found on the clean and dry if only moderately complex finale." - Allen Meadows
