Bouchard Pere & Fils, Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru Domaine 2020 (0.375L)

"The 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a ripe, slightly honeyed bouquet with lime, linden, hints of yellow plum and orange pith aromas that blossom in the glass. This is very well-defined and evolves wonderfully with aeration. The beautifully defined palate offers a creamy veneer of new oak that does not impede upon the terroir. Harmonious with subtle wild peach and marzipan notes toward the finish, this is just a delicious Corton-Charlemagne. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting." – Neal Martin

"Very complex nose of lemon curd, tangerine and violets. So cool and precise, with excellent concentration, but not a gram of fat on its muscular body, this is a marathon-runner white Burgundy. Intense, chalky minerality is married to restrained creaminess at the dangerously fresh, long finish. From a 3.65-hectare plot at 320 meters altitude on the east-facing side of this site. From organically grown grapes."– James Suckling
