Mingling notes of citrus pith and orange blossom with hints of pastry cream, Chartron's 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is medium to full-bodied, elegantly muscular and structured, with lively acids, chalky extract and a pretty core of fruit.

The 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, which comes from the "En Charlemagne" lieu-dit, comprises four barrels this vintage; I tasted it from a two-year-old barrel. The refined bouquet reveals hints of almond and vanilla pod loitering in the background and allowing the terroir to speak. The palate is very nicely structured with superbly judged acidity, symmetry and poise. The almost Chevalier-Montrachet like finish is steely and long. Chapeau !
