The nose opens with citrus fruits, ripe stone fruit and white flowers, layered with subtle oak, toast and the distinctive chalky minerality associated with Corton-Charlemagne.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is rich and concentrated yet remarkably precise, supported by energetic acidity and a long, mineral finish. Its balance of power, freshness and structure makes it compelling now, while further bottle ageing should reveal greater aromatic complexity and finesse. It can be enjoyed from approximately 2025, with excellent development potential over the next decade or more when properly cellared.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine comes from the iconic Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru vineyard, whose limestone-rich soils and elevated Côte de Beaune slopes provide Chardonnay with both depth and pronounced mineral character.

Fermented and matured in the traditional Burgundian manner, with carefully managed oak influence, the wine balances its natural richness with precision and freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe lightly chilled at around แassistant 8–12°C, allowing it a little time in the glass to reveal its full range of aromas.

Decanting is not essential, but a brief decant of 30–60 minutes can help the wine open, particularly when enjoyed young.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDomaine Henri Clerc is a Burgundy domaine associated with the fine Chardonnay terroirs of the Côte de Beaune.
