2004 Pavillon Corton-Charlemagne

By on February 28, 2006 #asides

From vines situated above Languettes on the Ladoix side, 100% barrel fermented, 40% new wood with 15 months in the wood. Depth and width on the nose with an intense mineral scent. The palate is much more concentrated and linear than the ‘Charmes’. Whilst it is undoubtedly very long finishing, the linearity means that it is showing very little today but it should have a great future as the balance is super.

A lovely floral nose – violets with a mineral undertow. Much more structure than the Bourgogne, very good acidity and mouth-coating tannins. The fruit is high-toned with lovely extension into the mid-palate – and further! A very stylish Pommard. Lovely.

Even more mineral nose than the Pommard Ursulines – hints of cedar over a tight base of fruit. Very good acidity, it’s a very fresh presentation – too fresh(?) The Pommard that preceded it was both friendlier and riper. Despite the tannin also hinting at a little greenness this is very drinkable and has good length.

Deep colour. The nose is pretty good, both depth and width. Much riper than its Aloxe-Corton neighbour. Good texture to the tannins and the concentrated fruit stains your taste-buds. Impressive.

A deeply coloured wine. The nose is rather closed, but the palate has a lovely covering of ripe, black-shaded fruit that has an extra burst on the finish.

High-toned nose. Real density without too much fat. Ripe, but in the best sense. Well structured with just a little earth on the tannic finish. Very, very young, I’d buy.
