The 2005 Corton-Charlemagne from Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune is a remarkable example of a Chardonnay from one of France's finest wine regions. Known for its rich history and renowned terroir, this area is celebrated for producing complex and exquisite white wines. The clay-limestone soils, coupled with a continental climate, lend this wine a unique minerality and vibrant acidity, balanced with a touch of honeyed richness typical of a demi-sec wine. Although the ‘Castle’ is not specified, the blend is likely crafted with precision by a respected producer in this storied region. Burgundy's wine-making tradition and dedication to quality shine through in this cuvée.
For pairing, consider rich dishes that can complement the wine's body and acidity, like lobster in butter sauce or roasted chicken with creamy morel mushrooms. The wine's subtle sweetness also harmonises beautifully with Asian cuisine, such as Thai green curry. For a regional match, enjoy it with Comté cheese or a traditional Bourgogne fish dish, such as pike quenelles in a creamy sauce.
When it comes to tasting, serve this wine at about 11-13°C. Allow it to breathe for about 30 minutes to open up its complex bouquet. Begin by observing its shimmering gold hue, followed by a deep inhalation to savour the aromas of ripe pear, apricots and a hint of toasted almond. On the palate, expect an interplay of freshness and rounded texture, finishing with a lingering minerality.
