2018 Domaine Bouchard Pere et Fils, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 1x750ml

Tasting Notes Vinous 90 The 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a light waxy nose that lacks a bit of energy. The palate is balanced with orange zest and mango. Not a complex Corton-Charlemagne, but pretty with a lightly spiced, almost Viognier-like finish. Fine, though it does not match the promise that it showed from barrel. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting. [Neal Martin, 22/11/2022] Anticipated maturity: 2023-2032 Robert Parker 93 The 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is performing very well from bottle, offering up inviting aromas of pear, green pineapple, citrus oil, white flowers, lemon curd and fresh pastry. Medium to full-bodied, deep and nicely concentrated, it’s muscular and structured, with racy acids and fine reserves of dry extract. This should age with class.
