Case of 6 Corton Charlemagne GC 2010 Domaine Chevalier

    Domaine Chevalier is a 15 hectare, family domaine situated in Ladoix, in the north of the Côte de Beaune. Established in 1850, it is now run by Claude Chevalier and his daughters, Julie and Chloé. Claude's whites have the mealy and mineral quality that typifies great Burgundy, at a relatively modest price. The style combines the taut, steely feel of Chablis but with the fruit intensity, finesse and hints of riper stone fruit of the Côte de Beaune.
    Corton Charlemagne is the Grand Cru that belongs in part to the growers of Ladoix and in part to those of Aloxe-Corton. It gives firmstructured, long-living wines in small quantities from the southerlyfacing slopes of the hill of Corton. Along with the Grand Crus of Puligny and Chassagne-Montrachet, Corton Charlemagne is considered the best white wine of the Côte d'Or.
    This wine is full and scented, with notes of white flowers and honey. Eleven months barrel-ageing has given a subtle spicy note, alongside the benchmark steeliness of the best wines from this Grand Cru.
