The 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru doesn't possess the delineation and panache of Tollot-Beaut's on the nose at first, though it coheres nicely with aeration. Peach skin, linseed and wilted white flowers eventually come through. The palate is well-balanced with a viscous entry, a little more honeyed in style than previous wines in this flight of Corton-Charlemagne, though it deserves applause for the precision and detail on the finish. It needs a little more time in the bottle compared to others because there is a lot of coconut-ty new oak. My score is based on this being assimilated with bottle age. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, July 2024)

Very good. After an oxidized Deleger chevalier the pressure was on and this delivers. Honeyed color but light, fresh and crisp with bright acidity. Long and delicious. Very good.

Lemon, lime juice, a collage of tropical fruit that swirl on your palate. Honeysuckle, jasmine, really nice minerality. Chalkiness is near perfect. Nice; balance, acidity and finish.
