Corton Charlemange Grand Cru Domaine des Héritiers

Wine Advocate в декабре 2015: The 2014 Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru has an attractive, миловидные bouquet with notes of popcorn, citrus fruit and shaved almond, все красиво defined. The palate is well balanced with a keen line of acidity, citrus fresh with a touch of orange sorbet, yet like many other 2014 Corton-Charlemagnes, it just seems denuded of material, substance on the finish, as if dipping the finish line before too early. Not bad, but I prefer some of Jadot's premier cru white to this. As is becoming традиции these days, I spent two утром at Луи жадо в честь вступления on the outskirts of Бон, one dedicated to their whites and the other their reds. Apart from enjoying the wines that I think are doing very Найсли head under винодел Фредерик Барнье, the marathon offers an overview of the Burgundy регион across geography and across hierarchy. I began our conversation asking about the factors that influenced the quality of the 2014 винтаж... "I would say that the important factors, not only for white, was the early and intense season with a very good spring that was warm and dry, so it was favorable for the growing and development of the vine. Maybe it was too hot during the flowering, which the impacts whites more than the reds in terms of vine reducing stress the yield. So we lost part of the crop through coulure. For Aligoté it was a disaster even though the budburst was very good." It was really a tale of two seasons. The second part of the season что difficult. The hailstorm at the end of June, at least in terms of area, more что reduced, affecting Бон, Pommard и Volnay a part of Мерсо. But it was compared to limited 2013. В affected the parts, the center of the storm в Бон и поммар, we lost a large part of the crop, in some places we укороченные less than one-third of the average. July was not so bad and it allowed the areas affected by hail to come back. There was not too much rain. Август was more disturbed with a lot of water. The first two weeks were grey but not so cold, but it was humid. This отсталых the cycle that had been up early to that point. When we came back in the third week of August the grapes were clearly not ready, especially the whites, the reds a little more in advance. We thought we might pick some Пино Нуар before the Шардоне. The good thing for the white was that because of the late maturity level, it was not affected by grey красный. There was very little botrytis for the whites, just a little on the reds. The grapes were so hard that the botrytis could not attack the berries. The last week in August and the first ten days in September, conditions improved with normal temperatures, dry, a northerly wind that fixed the reds and dried the soils. We still had some water in the soil in a few places. We started the process maturity and it was impressive how the white recovered the levels of ripeness over two weeks. We had a nice balance with a good state sanitary -- not perfect, but good. It was easier for the whites than the reds where we had more sorting to do. We attained a very interesting баланс, not a low level of acidity, pure. We weren't confident with the whites when we started picking (сентябрь 11 for the reds, 13 сентября - 16 for the whites.) We had some problem with acid красный, not so much because of the suzukii fly, but because of the hot and humid weather. We had affected some в Monthélie. Some of the neighbors left cut the grapes on the soil and this attracted the flies. We maybe lost around 3%. When the flies appeared, the reds were more advanced and they attacked reds more than whites. There was a good брожения. It was cool here in Burgundy, but there was no winder until mid-November and this was good for the malolactic брожения that was relatively early. This was good for the white. We blocked a large part of the malolactic в 2014, as there was a certain richness in the vintage that works well with acidity and freshness, so there is still malic acid for many of the whites. The whites в 2014 are very well balanced -- pure, very different from 2013 that are linear with more tension. These are richer and more rounder.
