Benoît first produced this cuvée in 2022, when he was able to source fruit from all three villages. As he puts it, “a true Corton-Charlemagne.” This is a sharply defined, lemon-driven wine with roaring minerality and tightly wound intensity that stretches across the mid-palate. Compact, high-toned, and electric, it has all the components for long-term aging and simply needs several years to fully harmonize. Even in its first three vintages, the wine clearly demonstrates Benoît’s impressive command of this “satellite” Grand Cru.
