Domaine Parent Corton Blanc Grand Cru 2022 (96 Decanter)

Even at this youthful stage, the 2022 Corton Blanc packs power. I find it more minerally and dense than the typical Corton-Charlemagne, so I understand her reasoning for labeling. It’s a luxurious wine, even at this tightly wound stage. Parent’s vines are in Le Rognet et Corton section in the Ladoix-Serrigny portion of the hill of Corton, so the wine could be labeled as Corton-Charlemagne. Anne believes the character differs from classic Corton-Charlemagne so opts to label it as Corton Blanc.
