2022 Bouchard Père et Fils Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, Burgundy, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
This wine hails from Bouchard’s prized holdings high on the Corton hill, where Chardonnay vines root deeply into white marl and limestone. The cooler exposure and stony soils impart both freshness and minerality, hallmarks of the Corton-Charlemagne terroir. In 2022, a warm and fast-ripening season was skillfully managed by careful canopy treatments and judicious harvest timing to retain balance and aromatic clarity.
Fermentation took place at controlled temperatures to preserve purity, followed by aging in French oak barrels—only a modest portion new—to add texture without overshadowing the wine’s elegance. The resulting wine is dense yet finely structured, with citrusy lift, orchard fruit complexity, and a firm mineral backbone that promises longevity.
