Domaine Laurent Roumier Bourgogne Hautes-Cotes de Nuits 2019 Chardonnay on clay-siliceous soils over clay

Domaine Jean-Pierre Maldant's Corton-Charlemagne is the crown jewel of a fifth-generation family estate based right at the foot of the Corton hill itself — a domaine that quietly tended Hospices de Beaune vineyards for generations before Jean-Pierre committed fully to his own property in 1998

finishing with an element of tannic structure that reminds one of a red wine
