Domaine de Montille Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2012

Country: France
Region and Appellation: Burgundy Corton

Pale gold in color, this Grand Cru opens with an arresting bouquet of white peach, crushed lavender, sea salt, and a refreshing hint of mint. The palate is both opulent and precise—dense with extract yet lifted by vibrant floral and mineral nuances. Though rich in texture, it remains laser-focused, finishing with exhilarating dryness, grip, and a lingering, saline-tinged intensity. Still youthful, its tightly wound structure suggests a long evolution ahead, with peak harmony likely emerging after a decade or more.

Behind an initial veil of reduction (which will dissipate with time), the wine reveals a powerful, broad-shouldered frame, layered with dry extract and stony minerality. While already complex, its full depth awaits further bottle development, promising even greater dimension. A classic, muscular Corton-Charlemagne built for the cellar, yet with the elegance characteristic of Domaine de Montille.
