    This is from a small parcel of 0.29ha in "Le Charlemagne" that was planted in 1940, facing south west. The soils here are marney limestone, shallow and with a stony top soil.

    ABV:
    13.5%
    90-92/100

    The 2019 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, located in Le Charlemagne, was strangely muted on the nose when I tasted it and had a hard time following on from the excellent Les Folatières. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, quite saline in the mouth and impressively precise on the finish. Hopefully the aromatics will improve by the time of bottling. I need to be more moved by this.
