From Corton-Charlemagne

| Description: | 96 Vm / 94-96 JM. The 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a taut nose at first, though it doesn't take too much aeration to unlock attractive scents of crushed limestone, lime, yellow plums and light peachy scents. There's real mineralité here. The palate is well-balanced with superb tension from start to finish, not unlike Jean Charton stylistically. There is balletic poise to this Corton-Charlemagne, and it retains wonderful mineralité on the complex finish. Classy from start to finish. The only problem is that it will be difficult to resist in its youth. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. (July 2024) -- Neal Martin, Vinous Media. A normal crop, not yet racked. Delightful pale lemon colour with a light lime streak. Very classy nose, elegance with stones and a fresh lemon grass perfume. The 2020 Corton-Charlemagne is equally fine on the palate, with some ripe citrus notes, really quite precise and very long. More stony than saline. Tasted: October 2021-Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. |
