🏰 The 2016 vintage in Burgundy was marked by challenging conditions, including spring frost and hail, which led to reduced yields but often resulted in concentrated and complex wines. Many 2016 Corton-Charlemagne wines are described as powerful, elegant, with distinct acidity and minerality, built for aging. Alex Gambal is known for producing outstanding white Burgundies that emphasize harvest and grape ripeness, respecting fundamental Burgundian tradition, aiming for a marriage of richness and minerality in their Corton-Charlemagne. While specific 2016 Alex Gambal tasting notes are limited, general Corton-Charlemagne 2016 descriptions include an intense nose of fresh hazelnut, marzipan, and vanilla, with notes of fresh almond, linden, and toasted elements on the palate. Citrus and saline notes often appear on the finish. Other descriptions mention peach, citrus, flint, white flowers, and a faint hint of butter, with a powerful, sunny, fruity nose and an oaky, woody palate. 【Exceptional pedigree and formidable aging potential from a challenging vintage】. 🍴 This versatile white Burgundy pairs beautifully with shellfish, lobster, foie gras, and various fish dishes.
