Corton-Charlemagne, Grand Cru, Maison Joseph Drouhin, 2024

The 2024 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has an intense bouquet, austere at first, with touches of orchard fruit emerging with time, though it remains quite backward. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Quite tensile and mineral-driven, it just needs to develop the texture that I suspect will emerge during the second winter in barrel.
