Bursting from the glass with aromas of citrus oil, fresh pear, dried flowers, toasted nuts and fresh pastry, Faiveley's 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is medium to full-bodied, lively and incisive, with good concentration and chalky structuring extract, concluding with a long, precise and mineral finish.
Barrel sample. After the Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot, this smells more subtle, more stony, though there’s still some attractive oak spice and a slight stoniness. Surprisingly rounded on the palate and could do with a little more intensity in the middle.
