On various
occasions I’ve seen a concise description of this Chardonnay which always ended with the
conclusion: “tastes like a little Corton-Charlemange”! Can that be true? If so, how? I
anticipate a bit: No! At least not for me! I don't even know how to relocate this Chardonnay to Burgundy? The characteristics of this wine weren't all too "Burgundian-Style" (whatever that might mean). At least to me. I also don’t know what these references or insinuations might mean! Are
there precise and typical characteristics to all Corton-Charlemagne wines? As far as I am concerned:
not so much (perhaps anymore? If ever?)! Does that implicate high standard quality? And what the hell does “little” mean anyway? Sorry for those rude questions to an invisible addressee! I am just a bit peeved about these ongoing and totally useless marketing delusions! I can’t see any need
for such comparisons! I anticipate again: It is a good wine with a certain amount of “unique” characteristics!
There is no need for such marketing driven verbalisations! Guys, let the
quality speak for itself! Considering its attractive price, accessibility and international ratings (for me a bit too high ones) there won’t
be any problem in selling this Chardonnay! Sorry, enough bewildering bashing for today ;-)! Now
