2022 Corton-Charlemagne, Joseph Drouhin
The 2022 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru (Domaine) derives from vines in Languettes, a south-facing climat that produces a ripe style of wine. Delivering aromas of sweet yellow orchard fruit, confit citrus and buttery pastry, it's medium to full-bodied, rich and ample, with a layered, seamless profile. ~ (94) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 1-18-2024
Powerful and refined at the same time, it’s an age-worthy wine that’s already tempting to drink. Generous apple, white peach and lime aromas give way to stony, flinty and tight flavors backed by nervy acidity that will need time to unravel. One of the truly great sites for chardonnay in the Cote d’Or, and this comes from 50-year-old vines. Best from 2028. ~ (97) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 6-20-2024
Intense fruit and real chew on the end. Almond and lemon flavours. Deep but neat, refined. Juicy and confident. Cough-sweet impression. ~ (17) Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com 11-2-2023
This is the first wine to display any appreciable reduction and in this case, it dominates the underlying fruit. More interesting are the generously proportioned larger-scaled flavors that brim with both dry extract and minerality while displaying impressive power on the compact, long, balanced and built-to-age finale. While this could be enjoyed on the younger side thanks to the excellent richness, there is so much upside development potential that it would be a shame to drink it too young. ~ (94) Allen Meadows, Burghound 6-10-2024
