Tasting Notes

The 2017 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a seductive nose of peachy fruit infused with white chocolate and almond, all defined and focused. The palate is well balanced with fine delineation and nicely integrated oak. More white chocolate and hints of praline develop toward a finish that has a slightly honeyed texture, but there is certainly impressive persistence. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune.

A cool and admirably pure nose displays notes of green apple, floral, citrus and a hint of wood toast. There is excellent volume, power and punch to the well-detailed and overtly stony broad-shouldered flavors that coat the palate on the impressively long finish that also reflects a bitter lemon nuance. While this is a classically styled CC, it remains relatively refined and should drink reasonably well after only 5 years or so of bottle age.

The 2017 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru surpasses its showing from barrel, revealing an attractive bouquet of ripe orchard fruit, citrus oil, spring flowers and pastry cream. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, elegantly glossy and precise, with a fleshy core of fruit that's tempered by brisk acids, concluding with a delicately chalky finish. While this is a little shut down after its recent bottling, this is a charming, expressive Corton-Charlemagne in the making.
