Domaine Maldant Pauvelot Corton-Charlemagne 2017When young, Corton Charlemagne is pale gold in color with green highlights. As it ages, the color shifts towards yellow or amber. The bouquet, delicate in the extreme, features buttery notes of baked apple, citrus fruits, pineapple, lime, bracken, juniper, cinnamon, and flint. Honeyed notes are frequently present. The older vintages (25 30 years) reveal leather and truffle. Both the glass and the palate are filled with its powerful exhalations. Corton
