Jean-Pierre Maldant, Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 2015

2 Stars Guide Hachette
"A superb golden and shiny color dresses this intense grand cru, very fruity (pineapple, orange, tangerine), mineral, a little spicy and woody with elegance. On the palate, it is rich, concentrated, generous and long, underpinned by a fine freshness with tones of ripe citrus. A remarkable balance."
