2020 Domaine Bouchard Pere et Fils Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru

Other Reviews....
Discreet though easily perceptible wood influence is present on the aromas of green apple, lemon-lime, clove and a less obvious touch of mineral reduction. There is impressive mid-palate density to the bigger-bodied and more powerful flavors that also exude evident minerality on the very dry, balanced and moderately austere finale. While this too could use more depth, the potential aging curve of this wine is sufficiently extended that more complexity is almost a certainty. Drink from 2030+.

Allen Meadows - Burghound

Aromas of orange oil, peach, confit citrus, freshly baked bread, beeswax and white flowers preface the 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, a full-bodied, layered and concentrated wine that's deep and muscular, with a rich but tensile profile and a long, chalky finish.

William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Jan 2022)

The 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a well-defined, tightly-packed bouquet that demanded some coaxing from the glass. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, maybe just a bit too straightforward on the mid-palate but with a pleasant waxy-textured finish. Drink over the next 12-15 years. Drink 2024-2038.

Neal Martin - Vinous

Very complex nose of lemon curd, tangerine and violets. So cool and precise, with excellent concentration, but not a gram of fat on its muscular body, this is a marathon-runner white Burgundy. Intense, chalky minerality is married to restrained creaminess at the dangerously fresh, long finish. From a 3.65-hectare plot at 320 meters altitude on the east-facing side of this site. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Pale lemon colour, considerable concentration on the nose, not yet much detail. Oof, there is a really impressive wealth of fruit here, taking the upper hand over the terroir for the moment but there is so much still to come. 20% new wood. The stones are waiting! Really very long, a majestic Corton-Charlemagne in the making.

At the very top of the hill planted on white marl, this four-hectare parcel is typically the last one to be picked - there is the elevation but also a wind that is always blowing here. The nose has a pronounced lemon peel and green apple fruit with a delightful, saline minerality. There is not a lot of oak spice or malo notes - only 20% new wood is used for the fermentation. On the palate, there is a laser focus and impressive finesse. With time it opens to show a lovely depth and complexity. Really top. Drink 2025 - 2050.
