Note di degustazione
The 2017 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru felt pinched and a little reduced on the nose. However, the palate is built around a fine bead of acidity and good energy. It feels spiky toward the finish and needs more depth and rondeur . Too slight for a Corton-Charlemagne? At least there is freshness, and it does improve in the glass, but it falls below my expectations from barrel. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune.

2017, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, Domaine de Montille Fresh clear lemon yellow. The bouquet is quite graceful, with a little oak, otherwise understated. Pure, crisp and mineral with considerable power at the back of the palate after the gentle start. The finish is classical for the appellation.
The 2017 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is performing well from bottle, revealing scents of green orchard fruit, white flowers, fresh pastry and toasted almonds. Medium to full-bodied, textural and succulent, it's lively and precise, concluding with a delicately chalky finish.
The purity of yellow citrus fruit here is stunning and there’s a distinctive, chalky wedge to the nose, too. The palate has a very elegant, sleek and contained feel with a strong line of acidity and creamy, lees-derived weight. This has the DNA of power and the length is exceptional. Regal. Try in 2022.
