Tasting Etienne Delarche's 2024s is a very encouraging early sign that for fans of cooler, fresher styles of Burgundy are going to find plenty to admire, in both red and white. Indeed, there is a neoclassical sense to the 2024 vintage. They are crystalline, refreshing and detailed with lower alcohols than recent years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've featured wines from the Domaine many times over the years so you should be somewhat familiar already.

The Les Combottes vineyard sits high up on the hill just slightly around the bend from the famous grand cru of Corton. This blessed site typically displays highly aromatic, mineral-driven wines and Delarche’s version is a perfect example of this chiseled style. Aromas of wet stones intermingle with scents of lime zest, ginger, and green apple. The linear palate has a quiet presence that expands with a little time in the glass with flavors that reprise the aromatics. The mid-palate is intense while a strong core tangy and salty minerals with just enough fleshy fruit to compel the stony finish. The vintage shines through with a zippy energy that makes this wine an outstanding candidate for those delicious shellfish dishes. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"North Berkley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45700667179157,"sku":null,"price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0665\/6032\/7829\/files\/DelarcheCombottes.jpg?v=1781916390"},{"product_id":"delarche-2023-pernand-vergelesse-blanc-les-combottes-copy","title":"Etienne Delarche 2024 Corton-Charlemagne, Grand Cru White Burgundy","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e$168.99 bottle \/ $959.94(\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; color: rgb(213, 44, 42);\"\u003e$159.99\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e) six-pack\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLast year we offered the 2023 and couldn't fill demand so if you're interested, don't hesitate.
