Other Reviews....
A ripe, cool and equally restrained nose offers up notes of green apple, floral, an array of citrus and, like the Chevalier, plenty of mineral reduction. There is excellent power and volume to the delicious yet entirely serious broad-shouldered flavors that possess both terrific cut and minerality, all wrapped in a clean, dry and youthfully austere finale. This isn't quite as dense or powerful as the Montrachet but even so, there is much to admire and note well that this too should age exceptionally well.

Allen Meadows - Burghound

The most youthfully reserved wine in the cellar was the 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, a promising bottling that opens up to reveal scents of citrus zest, dried white flowers, green apple and pastry cream. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with racy acids and prodigious levels of searingly chalky dry extract that lend this wine incredible structure.

William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Jan 2020)

The 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a gentle bouquet that unfurls in the glass, revealing orange pith, quince and light walnut aromas. The palate is well balanced with a sappy opening, a fine bead of acidity with a cohesive, ginger tinged finish that lingers in the mouth. Very fine - it conveys a sense of completeness that is missing in some other examples from this Grand Cru site.

From all three villages but mostly Aloxe. This year he has picked the grapes and pressed them himself. A little green tint here in the colour and a pure chiselled nose, austere like the man himself! Impressive intensity at the finish, that’s where the class shows. Excellent grip too.
