Tollot Beaut, Corton Charlemagne Blanc

Tollot Beaut, Corton Charlemagne Blanc(from Le Corton in Aloxe). This is more overtly exotic with its aromas of pineapple, dried yellow fruit, pear compote and lemon confit. The denser, richer and more mineral driven flavors possess good size, weight and obvious power though the citrus tinged finish is noticeably warm. I would suggest serving this on the cooler side.

The 2010 La Tour de Mons is the same blend as the 2009

concentrated orchard and pit fruit flavors and a touch of fennel that builds in the glass

a touch of graphite developing with time

The 2015 Tour-Martillac was impressive from barrel and that is translated into bottle

even with traces of menthol as the Cabernets take the lead here

” he told me

is more sophisticated and overall

A terrific showing today

A highly spiced nose speaks of anise

juicy and expressive

for example the soils with more clay don't work so well in cooler years

I would like to see a bit more of a velvet edge to the texture
