Description

Domaine Rollin Pere & Fils Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2023The first half of a tasting at Rollin always culminates with this, one of the great white Burgundies of the Rosenthal portfolio. The Rollins own two parcels on this great hillone on the Pernand side, and one on the Aloxe side, planted between 50 and 90 years ago and totaling only about a half hectareand the wine has always been a blend of the two. It spends a full two winters in the cellar as per tradition, and it wears its 50% new oak gracefully.

Giampiero acquired a parcel of 80-year-old Trebbiano Spoletino in the town of Pigge di Trevi several years back

and aged on its fine lees in stainless steel for six months

The vineyards are divided into several parcels located in the neighboring villages of Canneto Pavese and Castana

and long age-ability

The Coteaux du Giennois is just north of both Sancerre and Pouilly

The wine is then racked into stainless steel tank and is aged for 15 to 18 months before being bottled (unfiltered)

The vineyards border the Layon river and are often swathed in an early morning fog

The Clos du Crosex Grillé (“grillé” referring to the way the sun roasts this extreme slope) encompasses 2

showing bright acidity

buoying the succulent peach/apricot fruit and counterbalancing the wine’s honeyed qualities

its fruit is crunchy and snappy rather than thick and juicy

but all of this energy is beautifully controlled on the palate
