Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2022 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a backward nose - it doesn't quite deliver the tropes one expects from this vineyard and has a hard time following the superb Bâtard-Montrachet. Taciturn at the moment. The palate is well-balanced with a citrus-fresh opening, orange zest and traces of mandarin. Fine balance and complexity belatedly arrive towards the finish. Hopefully, the aromatics will become more vocal by the time this is bottled.

The 2022 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is brilliant, unfurling in the glass with aromas of citrus zest, white peach, white flowers, fresh mint and wet stones, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and dense, tightly wound palate that's satiny but chiseled, with chalky structuring extract and a long, mineral finish.
