2022 Jean-Marie Fourrier Vigne Comte de Chapelle Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 750ml

Corton Charlemagne, an esteemed south-west facing Grand Cru vineyard, graces the slopes of Côte de Beaune, across the communes of Aloxe-Corton, Pernand-Vergelesses and Ladoix-Serrigny. The wines are acclaimed for their opulence, showcasing ripe orchard fruits, toasted nuts, and a touch of flint. Their palates offer rich texture, precise minerality, and impressive length.

Bass Phillip’s Burgundian outpost, Vigne Comte de Chapelle, produces 14 wines that complement, and challenge, their acclaimed portfolio of Australian pinot noir and chardonnay. Owner, and chief winemaker, Jean-Marie Fourrier envisions Vigne Comte de Chapelle ‘sitting alongside Bass Phillip as a distinguished yet approachable option, offering a unique yet familiar quality that resonates with both new and seasoned wine enthusiasts.’

Critic tasting note: (2022 vintage) "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." - James Suckling
