Merchant's description

Corton-Charlemagne Olivier Leflaive 2016 is a Grand Cru Chardonnay from Burgundy`s Côte de Beaune. The iron-rich limestone soils of the Corton hill impart a piercing mineral character and significant tension to the wine. It displays a powerful profile of citrus zest, green almond and white flowers, supported by a broad, full-bodied mouthfeel. Olivier Leflaive is known for an elegant, precise winemaking style that emphasises the site-specific mineral character of the fruit, ensuring a long, resonant finish that speaks to the pedigree of this famous Grand Cru site.
