Domaine de Montille
Corton Charlemagne, Grand Cru, 2019
justerini & brooks tasting note
Powerful, explosive Corton. Ripe citrus, stone fruit and wild honey flavours hemmed in by a crisp structure and softened by a warming finish. From behind Pougets, a mid slope, south, south east facing vineyard of 35 years old , aged in a mixture of small barriques and larger demi-muids barrels to minimise oak influence.

90-92/100Neal Martin,Vinous
The 2019 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, which comes from de Montille’s south-facing vineyards, is relatively early-picked. It has a tightly wound nose that has difficulty following the Chevalier-Montrachet (even though that was reduced!) The palate is well balanced with a harmonious entry, slightly waxy in texture as a Corton-Charlemagne should be, although it feels quite linear and strict on the finish.
