Corton-Charlemagne Wines

Sort By:

Louis Latour 2002 Chardonnay (Corton-Charlemagne)

Price $100

Immense power lies behind the initially seductive nature of this wine. It is powerful, ripe, complex, full of tropical fruits, and still at first it seems to be restraining this intensity. Give it 10 years and it will be mind-blowing. — R.V. (9/1/2004)

Louis Jadot 2009 Chardonnay (Corton-Charlemagne)

Price $130

A hugely rich, powerful Chardonnay, layering ripe fruit with a core of tannic structure, acidity, wood and huge depth of flavor. The wine is concentrated, with layers of fruit and textured acidity. Of course, it needs aging—7 years at least. — R.V. (4/1/2012)

Bouchard Pere & Fils 2006 Chardonnay (Corton-Charlemagne)

Like so many producers and négociants, Bouchard Père has a slice of the action in this famed Grand Cru. Its interpretation is generous, going for the inherent richness from the terroir. This is a magnificently ripe wine, definitely opulent, with the generous wood enhancing the very ripe fruit. In all this splendor, it is good to find a delicious edge of acidity. — R.V. (10/1/2008)

Louis Latour 2006 Chardonnay (Corton-Charlemagne)

Power, density, huge richness—all the attributes you would expect from a Corton-Charlemagne. But, this being 2006, the ripe tropical fruits are crispened with acidity which cuts through the impressive opulence and ripeness. — R.V. (10/1/2008)

Olivier Leflaive 2009 Corton-Charlemagne Chardonnay (Corton-Charlemagne)

Online Exclusive

Price $182

As always, Corton-Charlemagne offers an opulent Chardonnay. In this vintage, the wine has intense tropical fruits, very ripe although never losing sight of its acidity. There is terrific concentration here, giving a wine that is very rich. — R.V. (12/31/2011)

Louis Latour 2008 Chardonnay (Corton-Charlemagne)

Online Exclusive

Price $115

Louis Latour has one of the largest landholdings in this famed vineyard and makes a classic, powerful Corton Charlemagne. The acidity of 2008 gives this wine even greater complexity and a purity of line to go with the power and density. Certainly for aging. — R.V. (11/1/2010)

Louis Jadot 2003 Corton Charlemagne Chardonnay (Corton-Charlemagne)

Price $145

A hugely powerful wine that exudes dense, packed tropical fruit flavors. Yet, it is surprisingly delicate, its power tempered by a cocktail of green fruits, nuts, spice and toasty new wood. Almost in balance already, it should still age well over many years. Imported by Kobrand. — R.V. (9/1/2005)

Bouchard Pere & Fils 2007 Chardonnay (Corton-Charlemagne)

Price $170

Big and weighty, the wood very dominant, a wine with considerable potential. It feels important, seriously structured, edging on austere, but promising a much broader character after several years. — R.V. (7/1/2010)
