From domaine fruit picked on 26th August. 35% new wood from various forests. A deeper lemon yellow. Plenty of tension on the nose with a breadth of apple fruit. A slight reductive quality before the oak takes over. A little youthful bitterness. I don?t find it showing at its best today but I suspect that there is more to this to emerge later.

The 2022 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru (Domaine) derives from vines in Languettes a south-facing climat that produces a ripe style of wine. Delivering aromas of sweet yellow orchard fruit confit citrus and buttery pastry it's medium to full-bodied rich and ample with a layered seamless profile. This historic Beaune négociant house is also an important proprietor in its own right and one that's only growing with the acquisition last year of 20 additional hectares located in Saint-Romain and Saint-Véran. The Drouhin family remains committed to the ideal of elegance and the 2022 vintage has played into their hands in that respect producing a crop of sensual charming wines that come warmly recommended. Robert Drouhin told me that they're planning to extend white wine élevage?which I might have the temerity to suggest complementing with a more reductive handling in the cellar as I have tended to find recent vintages of the Laguiche Montrachet more glorious in the flush of youth than after a decade in the cellar.
