Crushed Chalk, Meyer Lemon, Grand Cru Power, and Laser-Like Tension

Sourced from ancient vines planted on the steep, limestone-laden slopes of the Corton hill, this rare Grand Cru bottled under Jean-Marie Fourrier’s micro-négociant label is a triumph of architecture and finesse. Combining monumental depth with Fourrier's signature low-intervention precision, it unveils intense aromas of crushed chalk, Meyer lemon, and white flowers. Powerfully structured yet breathtakingly energetic, it represents the absolute pinnacle of white Burgundy.

Critical Recognition

James Suckling 97 pts
  • 97 Points - James Suckling: Powerful and complex, showing aromas of white apricots, grapefruit, white truffles, cedar and charred rosemary. It’s firm, full-bodied and still in its infancy, very tight, showing spicy oak notes that just give a tease for now. Long, tight finish. From Le Corton and Les Renardes. Try from 2026.

Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay sourced from esteemed, old-vine parcels on the limestone-dominated Grand Cru hill of Corton-Charlemagne, bottled under the Vigne Comte de Chapelle label.
  • The harsh, white marl and limestone soils of the upper slope impart extreme mineral tension, structural authority, and immense aging potential.
  • Produced from Vieilles Vignes (old vines), naturally concentrating the fruit extract while preserving the striking natural acidity characteristic of the site.
  • Vinified according to Jean-Marie Fourrier's strict low-intervention standards: whole-cluster pressed, native yeast fermentation, and minimal lees stirring to maintain absolute transparency.
  • Aged with a conservative proportion of new French oak (roughly 20-25%), allowing the monumental grandeur of the 2022 vintage to express itself without heavy barrel artifacts.

Tasting Notes

Pours a brilliant, pale golden-straw. The nose is a masterclass in mineral intensity, opening with soaring aromas of crushed chalk, flint, Meyer lemon peel, and crisp green apple, accented by subtle white blossom and wet stone. On the palate, it is monumental, full-bodied, and incredibly powerful, yet anchored by a razor-sharp spine of piercing, linear acidity. The texture is seamless and athletic, driving toward an endlessly long, chalky, and salivating finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve at 11–13°C (52–55°F) in large, high-quality white Burgundy glasses to allow this profound Grand Cru to fully unfold.
  • Decanting: Decant for 1 to 2 hours prior to serving if enjoying in its youth. Pairs magnificently with roasted turbot, butter-poached lobster, or classic roast chicken with truffle. Built for the long haul; best from 2028 through 2045+.
