$342.70 inc. GST
Pale lemon. The bouquet is discreet but suggests that the wine is all there. Just a touch of sandalwood and a suggestion of gunflint. Plenty of energy here, a tightly knit mineral aspect to the white fruit, with a citrus rinse. Medium length. Drink from 2029-2036.

The 2024 Charlemagne Grand Cru has a perfumed bouquet with hints of yellow fruit, Golden Delicious and light smoky scents just in the background, unfolding nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with an attractive waxy texture that I want from my Charlemagne. This displays good acidity, quite pure and lightly spiced towards the tender finish. Good potential.
