Domaine de la Vougeraie Charlemagne 2020 is a Grand Cru Burgundy Chardonnay from a steep, south-facing plot around the top of the hill of Corton. The wine is aged for 16 months in French oak barrels, 40% new. The domaine vineyards have been managed biodynamically since 2001. "The 2020 Charlemagne Grand Cru has a well-defined and quite focused bouquet with admirable mineralité and tension. The palate is taut and fresh, impressive in terms of depth, quite focused and poised with a touch of sea salt towards the finish. Lots of energy here - this is one of Vougeraie’s best whites."
