2020 Chartogne-Taillet, Hors-Serie 1x750ml

Robert Parker 96

“Chartogne’s 2020 Blanc de Blancs Hors Série is showing superbly. It opens with a deep bouquet of orange zest, ripe pear and white blossoms mingling with lemon confit. Full-bodied and concentrated, the wine retains striking vitality, with a generous core of fruit enlivened by an incisive spine of acidity and a pronounced chalky signature. Discerning readers will recall that this cuvée hails from a selection of sun-soaked parcels in Avize, primarily situated on the lower slopes with shallow soils, and is vinified exclusively in oak.” [Kristaps Karklins, 05/08/2025]
