Domaine Leroy Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2009 AOC 0.75l

Domaine Leroy Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2009 AOC Corton-Charlemagne, 0.75l is a white wine that presents itself as a declaration of territorial precision, born from the assembly of selected parcels in the heart of the Grand Crus of the Côte de Beaune and matured in the typical climatic conditions of the 2009 harvest, a warm but well-modulated year that provided maturity but also elegant structure; Domaine Leroy is one of the most personal expressions of Burgundy viticulture, founded by the charismatic figure of Lalou Bize-Lazard, a house that stands out for a philosophy that places terroir at the centre, the longevity of the bottles and a management of the vineyard oriented towards biodiversity and a cellar capable of interpreting the vintages without illusions; The company's history intertwines tradition and innovation: a niche winery that has built a reputation on a few exceptionally pure crus, where manual labor in the vineyard, meticulous harvesting, and a careful approach to winemaking aimed at preserving the soil's minerality and the fruit's vitality become hallmarks. Compared to other producers in the same region, Domaine Leroy's Corton-Charlemagne stands out for its ability to combine rich aromas with a minerally flavor that stands up to aging, offering a slow and controlled evolution. Complex notes of citrus peel, dried apricot, salted butter, and nuances of white flowers emerge on the nose, alongside subtle hints of flint and sea salt that hark back to the geological nature of the Corton-Charlemagne soil. On the palate, it presents a velvety texture, a creamy texture that gives way to a well-balanced acidity and a long, persistent finish, capable of maintaining a balance between power and refinement. The wine occupies a prominent position within the Domaine Leroy range, embodying the house's finest white wine and offering an ideal comparison platform for those seeking a taste of authentic terroir and a contemporary winemaking project. In keeping with the STELT positioning, this bottle embodies simplicity, depth, and an elegant confidence over time.
