This was a massive tasting with the team at Clos du Caillou and we went through each of their cuvees going back more than a decade

which was planted in 1968 and the second from the villages-level portion of La Combe d’Orveau

which come from vineyards bordering Chateauneuf du Pape (identical terroir

so drink over the next five or six years

7 barrels are usually produced)

Lucien Le Moine, Corton Charlemagne Blanc other_regions This was a massive tasting(from vines in Pernand). A pure nose of Granny Smith apples, freshly sliced lemons and limes, white flowers and plenty of wet stone character. There is outstanding size, weight and punch to the relatively elegant broadshouldered flavors that possess good depth and length but there is a surprising lack of punch. Perhaps it is just a stage but given the natural energy of Corton Charlemagne from Pernand, this is not typical. (89 92?) 2019+
