2017 Thierry Pillot Corton Charlemagne 750ml

A markedly cool and airy if much more restrained nose features notes of freshly sliced green apple, mineral reduction and citrus, all of which is trimmed in a background trace of wood. The clean, intense and tautly muscular larger-scaled flavors culminate in a driving, subtly complex and hugely long finish. This is seriously good too and as with all self-respecting examples of the appellation, this too is indisputably built-to-age.
