Henri Boillot Corton Charlemagne 2018 (750ML)

94-97 JM / 95 WA / 93 VM

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. - Jasper Morris

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 – The Wine Advocate

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. Neal Martin – Vinous Media
