Bouchard Père & Fils Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2019

Grown on marl with yellow notes, but only a narrow band above the calcaire de Corton. Pale lemon and lime colour. The nose is powerful, but backward in detail. A huge mouthful with controlled flesh alongside an intense limestone backbone, some pebbles in the background, very long finish. Impressive. [This will evolve gracefully through the mid-2050s.] Score – 93-96. (Jasper Morris, MW, insideburgundy.com, Nov. 2020)
