The 2015 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a well-defined and focused bouquet. The oak initially feels loud, displaying toasty notes that admittedly marry well with the reduction, and then, magically, it coalesces and becomes more and more vivid and animated with aeration. The palate is very well balanced, and then flavors of mango, clementine and a touch of ginger reflect the precocity of the growing season.

Vinous (94+)
(a 50/50 blend of vines from Pernand and Aloxe, with both parcels picked the same day): Pale green-tinged yellow. Pungent aromas of lemon, lime, apple, crushed stone, nutmeg and medicinal herbs. Wonderfully intense, backward wine with almost painful penetration to its pineapple and crushed stone flavors. Finishes with uncanny aromatic persistence for the vintage. Structured for a graceful evolution in bottle. I wouldn't go near this for at least five or six years.In BondSG$1,080.00 -

The pretty nose does not prepare you for the underlying muscle in this white wine. Plus, it's not rock-hard power; this is incredibly succulent for a Corton Charlie. Hazelnut and shortbread compliment the white nectarine and Rainier cherries. Les Languettes of Ladoix, where the vines are about 50 years old, provides 80% of the fruit and the rest, about 30 years old, comes from the Pernand side of the hill. 2024-40In BondSG$1,535.00 -

Vinous (92-94)
(bottled in December; a tiny crop from vines on Pernand's border with Aloxe): Pale yellow, a bit lighter than the Monts Luisants. Very pure aromas of citrus fruits, white peach and crushed stone. A very fresh, pristine style that's rather closed and backward following the bottling but not hard or austere. This wine fills the mouth without giving any impression of weightiness or overripeness. Most impressive today on the very long, rising, mineral-tinged finish, which leaves behind a salty character.In BondSG$2,345.00 -
Wine Advocate (94-96)
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.In BondSG$3,135.00 -

Vinous (91-93)
From two parcels on the Pernand side and Les Longuettes, around half each, the 2021 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has an intense nose with potpourri and orange blossom mixed with lavender (it reminds me of my grandmother's bathroom, but you are probably not familiar with that.) Anyway, this is beguilingly very aromatic. The palate is fresh and vibrant with orange rind and quince, fine depth, quite "strict" for a Corton Charlemagne with a tangy, marmalade-tinged finish. Fine.In BondSG$1,425.00
