Follin-Arbelet Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 2020

This comes from south-facing parcels in the lieu-dit of Charlemagne: some have old vines (planted in 1956) and some were only planted with Chardonnay in 2013 (until then they were dedicated to Pinot). There’s a tremendous weight of fruit here, including hedonistic peach and pineapple notes, balanced by bright acidity, and a chalky, mineral finish indicative of the parcel’s limestone soil.
