Benjamin Leroux, Corton Charlemagne Blanc other_regionsNA

honey and hazelnut complicated by suggestions of roasted herbs

yet it's very balanced and elegant too

Various vineyards are named after members of the Catena family

Everything here is perfectly interwoven and nothing stands out except the whole composition

Bitter chocolate

and delicious meat and spice characters
