Note di degustazione
A terrific effort in a vintage that often produced rather open-knit, soft white Burgundies, the 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru continues to perform very well. Mingling aromas of sweet citrus and stone fruits with notions of oatmeal, anise and flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, exhibiting excellent depth at the core and impressive precision. Racy, charming and attractively complete, it stands out from its peers.

The 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a reductive nose but there is some fine fruit here, touches of orange pith, honeysuckle and melted candle wax. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, a hint of wood to be subsumed on the entry, impressive depth with a slightly toasty finish. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.
I tasted multiple components that will make up the final blend of the 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru to write a composite tasting note. Exhibiting aromas of orange oil, pear, spices and hazelnuts, the wine is full-bodied, ample and textural but controlled. Still in some instances clouded by suspended sediment, this Corton-Charlemagne is far from being fully formed, so this shouldn't be considered by any means a definitive note, but the raw materials certainly appear promising.
