Domaine Simon Bize et Fils, Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 2014

The wood treatment is more prominent here though by no means invasive as it still easily allows the fresh, cool and airy aromas of green apple, rose petal and citrus elements to be appreciated. There is excellent power and concentration to the rich, vibrant and strongly mineral-inflected large-scaled flavors that possess a seductively textured mid-palate before terminating in a bone dry, balanced and explosive finish. This is a big and overtly powerful effort with excellent development potential.
