Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 20
The 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a fresh minty bouquet that translates more the winemaking rather than the terroir at the moment. The palate is slightly honeyed on the entry with moderate acidity, a richer style of Corton-Charlemagne than its peers, but missing some tension on the finish.
