Joseph Drouhin Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2018

The east-facing climat of Les Languettes supplies all the fruit for this domaine white from Joseph Drouhin, so this is not an over powerful Corton-Charlemagne. Instead, it’s built around a core of freshness and minerality with coiled, underlying concentration and stylish, scented 30% new wood. Racy and refined with some (skin) tannic grip. Drinking window: 2023-2030. Score – 95. (Tim Atkin, MW, decanter.com, Oct. 19, 2018)
