Note di degustazione
The 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a light waxy nose that lacks a bit of energy. The palate is balanced with orange zest and mango. Not a complex Corton-Charlemagne, but pretty with a lightly spiced, almost Viognier-like finish. Fine, though it does not match the promise that it showed from barrel. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.

A restrained and cool nose combines notes of green apple and pear with those of lemon rind and white flower that, once again, are set off by a discreet note of wood nuances. As one would reasonably expect, the mouthfeel of the medium weight flavors that possess a lovely texture on the lightly mineral-inflected, focused finish that displays noticeable warmth and a touch of sweetness.
The 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is performing very well from bottle, offering up inviting aromas of pear, green pineapple, citrus oil, white flowers, lemon curd and fresh pastry. Medium to full-bodied, deep and nicely concentrated, it's muscular and structured, with racy acids and fine reserves of dry extract. This should age with class.
