John Gilman om:
Corton Charlemagne Cuvée du Kalimeris
-- John Gilman: The 2016 Corton-Charlemagne from Laurent Ponsot was still in tank at the time of my visit and destined for bottling the following week. This is from a couple of different parcels in the vineyard than Laurent had worked with previously white at Domaine Ponsot, but he has once again found some outstanding fruit and this is a brilliant young example of the appellation! The bouquet is deep, reserved and nearly bottomless, offering up scents of apple, white peach, chalky soil tones, spring flowers, just a touch of lemon blossom and again a lovely, esthery topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, pure and full-bodied, with great intensity at the core, racy acids and stunning backend mineral drive and energy on the young, racy and complex finish. Stunning juice. 96/100
