The2022 Bouchard Pere And Fils Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is an exceptional Chardonnay from one of Burgundy's most prestigious Grand Cru vineyards on the Hill of Corton. Crafted by Bouchard Père & Fils, this wine captures the balance of the 2022 vintage with aromas of lemon zest, white peach, ripe pear and acacia blossom, complemented by subtle toasted hazelnut and flinty mineral notes.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and refined, with vibrant acidity, concentrated citrus and orchard fruit flavours, and a fine mineral texture. Gentle oak maturation adds hints of toasted almond and vanilla spice, leading to a long, elegant finish with impressive freshness and depth.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Grand Cru Chardonnay for collectors and lovers of classic White Burgundy. Enjoy now with a short decant or cellar through 2026–2042 for added complexity. A superb match for butter-poached lobster, grilled seafood, roast chicken with mushrooms or mature Comté cheese.
