Joseph Drouhin Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 2020 750 ml

Description:

Pale colour with engaging minerality. Lifted but lovely, finesse and tension. Some liquorice behind, very good length, and with time will fill out the middle of the palate.

96 Points - James Suckling

 Cool, restrained and mineral with a subtle aroma of violets, this is a youthful and highly structured Corton-Charlemagne that has the noble austerity of this Grand Cru at the very long crushed-stone finish. From a high-altitude parcel on the southeast-facing side of the hill of Corton. 

93+ Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

 Aromas of pear, citrus zest, struck match, fresh bread and pastry cream introduce Drouhin's 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru (Domaine), a full-bodied, deep and complete wine that's satiny and layered, with lively acids and a chalky finish.

92 Points - Vinous

 The 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is a little conservative on the nose and takes some time to open. Yellow fruit, just a touch of candle wax and just a hint of lime. The palate is rounded on the entry, good weight, honeyed in texture with fine acidity. Just a hint of white pepper perks up the finish here.
