Vinous Neal Martin - 17 Jan 24
The 2022 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru comes from several plots, a mixture of contracted fruit and others given after just a handshake many years ago. It has a beautifully defined bouquet, fresher than many Corton-Charlemagne, with hints of lemon thyme and orange pith. The palate is lightly spiced, quite sapid in the mouth, with touches of sour lemon. Maybe a little curt on the finish compared to the 2021 that had an edge over this vintage.
