2022 Corton-Charlemagne, Bouchard Pere et Fils (1.5L)
Aromas of pear, green apple, white flowers and wet stones introduce the 2022 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, a deep, medium to full-bodied wine that's taut, chiseled and racy, with excellent depth at the core and an abundance of chalky structuring extract. As usual, it derives from the domaine's holdings on the Ladoix side. ~ (94) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 1-18-2024

Open, creamy citrus aroma. Deep and mealy/creamy on the palate. Already open and welcoming in youth but with depth and intensity promising a good future, the oak spice subtle on the finish. ~ (17) Julia Harding, JancisRobinson.com 1-17-2024
Distinctly cool and restrained aromas of Granny Smith apple, spice and plenty of citrus elements are framed in just enough wood influence to mention. There is almost painful intensity to the larger-bodied flavors that display a taut muscularity and plenty of minerality on the very dry, youthfully austere and impressively long finish. This is presently an impenetrable block that needs more complexity but the Bouchard CC is a wine that ages effortlessly and thus should have no trouble developing more depth over time. ~ (94) Allen Meadows, Burghound 6-10-2024
The nose of this very beautiful Corton-Charlemagne transports me to an Alpine meadow, when all the wild flowers are blossoming. I love the restrained, citrusy richness that is effortlessly interwoven with the stony minerality on the medium- to full-bodied palate of this graceful, yet highly-structured wine. Still quite tight at the very salty finish, but so much to give. From a 3.65 hectare plot at the very top of the hill of Corton, directly below the forest with a yellow mark soil. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2025. ~ (97) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 6-20-2024
