The Apex of White Burgundy: Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru

The COMTE SENARD CORTON CHARLEMAGNE BLANC is the ultimate expression of Chardonnay from the hallowed hill of Corton. This Grand Cru is renowned for its magnificent balance of power, richness, and crystalline finesse, making it a true collector’s item and a benchmark for white wine excellence. Produced by the esteemed Domaine Comte Senard, this wine is full-bodied and built to age, rewarding patience with incredible complexity.

Tasting Notes: A Profile of Grandeur

• Appearance: A radiant, pale gold that deepens into a rich yellow with age.
• Nose: An intense and sophisticated bouquet featuring layers of white flowers, lemon zest, green apple, and dried fruit, beautifully intertwined with signature notes of subtle toast, vanilla, and fresh butter from its careful oak maturation.
• Palate: The entry is vibrant and precise, leading into a broad, fleshy mid-palate. Its impressive power is beautifully managed by a core of refreshing acidity and a profound minerality. The finish is exceptionally long, elegant, and persistent, a hallmark of its Grand Cru status.

Pairing & Service Recommendations

This is a serious gastronomic wine that demands attention. Serve at 54-57°F (12-14°C) to allow its full aromatic range to emerge.

• Food Pairing: Pan-Seared Scallops with Lemon-Garlic Butter, Lobster Thermidor, Foie Gras, Roasted Veal Sweetbreads, Aged Hard Cheeses.
• Cellaring: Ready to enjoy in its youth for freshness, but will evolve beautifully for 5 to 15+ years.
