Domaine Antonin Guyon Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 2015

Sorry, but you don’t see Corton Chuck at this level priced like THIS! Serious white Burg drinkers (and collectors) should be all over this. $150 upon release, $100 today...! Domaine Antonin Guyon is one of the largest family-owned wineries in the Côte d’Or, and they have quickly (in Burgundian terms) developed a reputation of prestige and quality. Started in the 1960s by Antonin Guyon with parcels in Gevrey and Meursault, the domaine is controlled and operated today by Antonin’s sons, Dominique and Michel, with holdings spanning 25 appellations and an impressive 116 acres. Their entire portfolio is massively impressive and ageworthy Burgundy that offers incredible quality relative to price. 

 

Today's Corton Charlamagne is slathered in gun flint and chalky minerals, firmly concentrated and mouth coating, it’s a wine that shows enormous aging potential but will be near impossible to resist in the near term once you get a taste. Honeysuckle, bee pollen, wet stone and kumquat aromas swirl with flavors of meyer lemon preserves, honeyed yellow apple and poached pear with shimmering acidity. This is LONGGGG, hit the stopwatch and count as the beeswax, almond and flinty flavors linger for minutes! Pro tip: Throw this in the decanter while you fry up some chicken and prepare to be wowed(seriously...fried chicken and Corton Charlemagne is a match made in heaven, I get goosebumps just thinking about it!).
