Again, this year’s rendition comes entirely from Les Languettes, a cool site in Aloxe-Corton, wedged between Les Pougets and Le Corton. Positioned directly below the woods, Leroux favours this site for its intense, cool expression of white-soil minerality. The only downside is the loss of fruit from wild boars and rabbits that emerge from the forest! The grapes are pressed gently without crushing, lightly settled, and fermented without sulphur in a mix of small and large casks. Leroux uses one-third new oak and the result is a superb, powerful Charlemagne.

Reviews

“The 2023 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru comes from the lieu-dit of Les Languettes. Struck flint and glimpses of yellow fruit open on the nose as this fleshes out nicely with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, quite poised with hints of Clementine and quince toward the light spiced finish. This will give 15 to 20 years of drinking pleasure.”
93-95 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
“Pale lemon colour. A lovely stony note behind the perfectly judged ripeness of the fruit. The intensity is also well judged, not excessive but there is plenty of wine in the glass, and more details keep emerging, a little bit of citrus, perhaps even orange zest, then back to the freshly ripe apples. Fine and long. Drink from 2032-2038.”
94-96 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
