The 2019 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a powerful lemon verbena, orange pith and French patisserie nose, with plenty of energy and commendable delineation. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. It’s slightly creamy in texture, with white peach and a touch of sesame oil, building commendably toward an intense finish. This is true Grand Cru quality. Excellent. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, December 2023)

Quite plump on the nose. Correct ripeness. Palate surprisingly tight and while having sneaky length and intensity, doesn't deliver much satisfaction through either complexity or vitality.
