Note di degustazione
Poured blind, the 2019 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a very attractive bouquet with dried honey, white peaches, apricots and touches of beeswax. There is still a touch of oak to be assimilated, yet there is focus and precision here. The palate is very well balanced with fine depth, not the most complex Corton-Charlemagne, though it exudes purity with a caressing and lightly spiced finish. Lovely. Tasted at Le Benaton in Beaune.

The 2019 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru comes across far too oaky on the nose, and that snuffs out the sense of place and much of its personality. It actually gets worse, not better, with continued aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a lime cordial-tinged opening, good acidity and fine tension. I appreciate the energy of this Corton-Charlemagne, it's just that the winemaking is too conspicuous at the moment. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
