2012 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru

The 2012 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru was inexplicably showing a little cloudiness in the glass. Still, the nose is beautifully defined, airy and pure with hints of limestone, creme fraiche and freshly sliced apple. The palate is very well-balanced ‰ÛÒ understated at first and then building in intensity in the mouth and yet, it does not quite deliver the complexity that I was anticipating after the ethereal nose ‰ÛÒ at least not yet! Give this several years in bottle to let it show what it can do. (NM)
