The Wine:
Consistently one of the best wines here. ‘I started with this in 2003 and it’s still something of a mystery to me; it’s a grand cru and I pose questions versus the grand crus here but in the end it’s all about interpretations. Always a surprising wine. The logic is the opposite of Bâtard for harvesting – I wait a little to gain a little depth, I think it benefits from maturity…’
The Review:
Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy - 93-95pts
"One supplier in Aloxe-Corton, one in Pernand. Now received in grapes, but picked on different dates, then made separately and blended. Pale lemon and lime, a softer bouquet than some but still with the requisite minerals. Generous across the palate but the stones are in the right place. Three 350 and two 228 barrels in total. Two of the 350s are new. A fine and indeed classic Corton-Charlemagne which leaves a very agreeable aftertaste. Drink from 2028-2035."
