Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2011 from Olivier Leflaive might well be the single wine that shocked everyone by its class. It certainly has the most nuanced and well-defined bouquet of the flight, positively exuding minerality with touches of greengage and citrus peel coming through. The palate is fresh and vibrant with crisp acidity, good tension and focus with a touch of spice and sea-salt lining the composed and persistent finish. Impressive. Very impressive.
