Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 93 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, Edouard Delaunay Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 2022 is a striking example of the region’s legendary terroir, crafted exclusively from Chardonnay grown on the limestone-rich slopes of Corton hill. The wine opens with an expressive bouquet of citrus blossom, fresh pear, and subtle toasted hazelnut, complemented by hints of flint and delicate spice. On the palate, it is both opulent and precise, revealing layers of white peach, lemon curd, and mineral undertones, all carried by a silky, expansive texture. The finish is long and deeply mineral, underscoring the wine’s pedigree and complexity. Ideal pairings include butter-poached lobster, roasted turbot, or a classic Comté cheese, each highlighting the wine’s nuanced character and elegant structure.
