Note di degustazione
Aromas of pear, orange oil, white flowers and toasted bread introduce the 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, a full-bodied, ample and round wine that's open-knit and gourmand. Demonstrative and giving, it's already accessible.

Open and aromatic with honeysuckle flowers, dried apples and mangoes, as well as white peaches and stone. Full-bodied, this grows slowly on the palate with an intense, powerful finish. Lots of cream, cooked apples, lemons and light oak at the very end. Tight and right. Try after 2023.
Cask sample. Rich, ripe and inviting on the nose. The lees and the oak have given definite spice and an attractive savoury character. Some vanilla and spice on the palate, rich rather than intense, broad rather than long. Not for the long term, I fear. (JH)
