The 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru from the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti has turned out beautifully offering up aromas of crisp pear and green apple mingled with notions of hazelnuts lime zest white flowers nutmeg and freshly baked bread. Full-bodied satiny and concentrated it's ample but incisive with a vibrant spine of acidity and chalky structuring extract. Combining the depth and intensity of flavor of 2019 with supplemental cut and tension it's a step up in quality from that excellent debut vintage.

There is enough wood to merit mentioning but not so much as to overshadow the vaguely exotic and ripe aromas of white peach apple compote various citrus elements and a whiff of acacia blossom. The wood is also reflected by the big-bodied powerful and overtly muscular flavors that possess outstanding richness that is buffered by both a firm minerality as well as bright acidity on the strikingly persistent balanced and robust finale. This is not a CC of refinement but it is indisputably impressive in its fashion and a wine that should age and improve gracefully over the next 12 to 15 years and last thereafter for a similar period. In a word superb. (Drink starting 2032)
