Derived from lieu-dit Charlemagne the 2019 Corton Grand Cru reveals aromas of sweet red berries woodsmoke raw cocoa and peonies. Medium to full-bodied elegant and fine-boned it's pure and precise with a more ethereal profile than the richer more soil-driven Aloxe-Corton premiers crus that preceded it.
Discreet though perceptible wood sets off markedly spicy aromas of plum black currant and once again plenty of earth character. There is more volume and intensity to the larger-scaled flavors that possess very good richness thanks to the plenitude of sappy dry extract that also serves to buffer the firm tannic spine shaping the powerful and youthfully austere finale. Patience will clearly be required.
