Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 'Les Languettes' 2016 orange-blossom-cake crisp acidityThis stunning 2016 Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru has a wonderfully attractive bouquet with lemon curd, dried apricot and chalk mineral notes that gain intensity with time in the glass. The palate is superbly balanced with a fine line of acidity, fresh and tensile with a touch of salinity on the finish. There is something special about this wine, likely coming from the meticulous farming and minimal handling in the winery a special bottle here.
