2018 Corton-Charlemagne, Grand Cru, Domaine Bouchard Pere et Fils (6 x Bottle)
The 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru comes from 3.9 hectares of east-facing vines at 350m altitude. It has an attractive if not quite an exciting bouquet of beeswax and jasmine notes. The palate is livelier, demonstrating good tension. Quintessentially Corton-Charlemagne in texture, with a resinous, sappy finish that gets the saliva flowing. Drink over the next two decades.

Vinous
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.
