Domaine Coche Dury, Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 2012

"The aromatics unfurl with a sense of ease prioritizing finesse over power: beeswax, linden, lemon thyme and fresh pear. The palate is exquisitely balanced with fleeting glimpses of Seville orange and apricot." - Wine Advocate

"In contrast to the relatively expressive aromatics of the prior wines this is quite reserved and almost mute though aggressive swirling ultimately reveals notes of green apple, floral, stone and various citrus elements. As is typically the case with this wine there is excellent power, weight and punch to the big-bodied, well-muscled and concentrated flavors that possess almost painful intensity yet despite the sheer scale of this wine, there is no sense of undue heaviness as there is actually fine delineation on the stunningly long and mineral-driven finish." - Allen Meadows
