Tasting Notes and Scores
The Bouchard holding in Le Corton is made up of white marl on top of limestone slabs, and protected by the forest from the evening sun. Pale lemon and lime. The nose is slightly backward, delicate little flowers, but with the correct stony, almost gravelly aspect. Some riper fruit notes putting their heads above the parapet. A significant saline character too, behind. Drink from 2030-2038.

Distinctly cool and restrained aromas of Granny Smith apple, spice and plenty of citrus elements are framed in just enough wood influence to mention. There is almost painful intensity to the larger-bodied flavors that display a taut muscularity and plenty of minerality on the very dry, youthfully austere and impressively long finish. This is presently an impenetrable block that needs more complexity but the Bouchard CC is a wine that ages effortlessly and thus should have no trouble developing more depth over time. Drink: 2034+

The 2022 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a taut and precise nose - quite a "cool" bouquet with apple blossom and hints of peach skin. The well-balanced palate offers mango and pineapple notes, betraying the warmth of the summer, compensated by a silver bead of acidity and a slightly peach, seductive finish. It will drink well for 15-20 years. Drinking Window 2026 - 2046.

Cask sample. Perhaps a little more generous on the palate than the Javillier Corton-Charlemagne, this has a wealth of ripe fruit on the palate. Bright acidity cuts through the richness. This isn't going to fall over but it is surprisingly forward and drinkable already. A very well-endowed wine, with a savoury edge on the finish. (AWH)

15 months in barrel then 6 in foudre. Cask sample. Open, creamy citrus aroma. Deep and mealy/creamy on the palate. Already open and welcoming in youth but with depth and intensity promising a good future, the oak spice subtle on the finish. (JH)
