The 2017 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru comes from two parcels on the Aloxe-Corton side of the hill, one facing south and the other more to the east. It has a well-defined bouquet, understated at first, offering lime flower, orange blossom and touches of linseed oil. The palate is well balanced with fine delineation, and quite saline with a tang of ginger toward the taut, spicy finish. Excellent.

The 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru comes 50% from En Charlemagne and 50% from Leongette and had been bottled the week before my visit in May 2022. Lemon thyme and white peaches on the nose; just a touch of yellow plum emerges with time. Finely focused. The palate is well balanced with a touch of lemongrass on the entry, fine depth, nice strictness considering the vintage with a long tail on the finish. Excellent.

The 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru opens in the glass with aromas of citrus zest, fresh bread, pear and beeswax. Full-bodied, taut and chalky, it's incisive and tightly wound, with lovely depth at the core and a long, tangy finish.

The 2021 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru exhibits aromas of honeyed orchard fruit and white flowers, followed by a full-bodied, rich and ample palate.
Rating: 92 –94
Offering up aromas of ripe orchard fruit, apple blossom, white flowers and freshly baked bread, the 2022 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with racy acids and a sweet core of fruit that lingers on the finish. It's being matured in 300-liter barrels.

The 2014 Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru has a modest bouquet, bashful at first but finding its voice with aeration; it offers attractive scents of orange blossom and lime zest, almond paste and plenty of leesy notes. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity. There is decent body and depth to this Corton-Charlemagne, perhaps a touch more "tropical" than others, but that is counterbalanced by the mineral seam that pokes through on the long finish. Excellent.

As good a rendition of this cuvée as I can remember tasting, the 2017 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is superb, unfurling in the glass with aromas of beeswax, white flowers, crisp yellow orchard fruit and wet stones, with nuances of nutmeg and fresh apricot emerging as it sits in the glass. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a concentrated core, succulent acids and a wonderful sense of energy and tension that balances its comparatively broad shoulders. It's produced from two parcels in Aloxe-Corton, one warmer and the other cooler.

So we began with his 2012 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru. It has a very attractive bouquet with subtle scents of pear skin, apple blossom and citrus fruit, although I hope it develops a little more vigor by the time of bottling. The palate is very gras with fine acidity, quite phenolic with a weighty, spicy finish that needs a little more nervosite. Laurent Ponsot, when he is not the Lone Ranger fighting alleged fraud, is busy making wine in his own individual way from his winery perched on the higher reaches overlooking Morey village. As ever, he is refreshingly candid in his views, passionate about the tenets he applies to winemaking, but always counterbalanced with tongue-in-cheek humor. I concentrated on the premier and grand cru 2012s since he was just about to bottle his village crus after one year and they were not ready. He told me that he commenced picking on 3 October, several days later than most winemakers, a date that he assured me he knew as far back as June due to natural indicators, whatever they may be. Yields averaged around 19 hectoliters per hectare, lower for the grand crus, while his famous Aligote from Monts Luisants was wiped out by oidium not from the vines, but from the nearby forest that pricked the flavor of the wine. (I did mischievously quip that I knew of someone in the United States who might be able to rustle some up if so desired – I could not help myself). What I like about Laurent’s wines is that they are edgy, uncompromising, occasionally “Marmite” wines that perhaps like the man himself, goes out to divide opinion and create debate. His strict use of old barrels combined with a dizzying array of grand crus combine to create distinct wines that tend to wear their heart of their sleeves. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802, Atherton Wine Imports (CA) and through Geodhuis & Co in the UK.

Despite a touch of reduction on the 2013 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, there is tangible earthiness on the nose that renders it broodier than some other Corton-Charlemagne tasted from barrel. The palate is well balanced with a fine thread of acidity that cuts through vibrant notes of almond and Cornice pear and a dab of lemongrass upon the effervescent, precise finish. This is a sublime Corton-Charlemagne, though without quite the complexity of other vintages that I have tasted.
