Bouchard Pere & Fils, Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru Domaine 2019 (1.5L)

"The 2019 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a lively bouquet, well-defined with yellow plum, Mirabelle and hints of jasmine. The oak is neatly integrated here, and it retains fine focus. The palate is well balanced with a smooth opening. Lightly spiced with just a bit of alcohol, this is initially controlled and focused toward the finish, and yet the alcohol begins to make its mark after 15-20 minutes, eventually obscuring the terroir. " – Neal Martin

"Grown on marl with yellow notes, but only a narrow band above the calcaire de Corton. Pale lemon and lime colour. The nose is powerful, but backward in detail. A huge mouthful with controlled flesh alongside an intense limestone backbone, some pebbles in the background, very long finish. Impressive." - Jasper Morris, MW
