Lithe power defines Bouchard Père & Fils Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2020, layering vibrant citrus and cool orchard fruit over a core of ripe stone fruit, subtle spice and gentle creaminess. The palate feels athletic and tightly coiled, driven by a firm, chalky spine that stretches the flavors into an impressively long, mouthwatering finish. A young, structured Corton-Charlemagne that already thrills but clearly has more nuance to reveal with time in bottle.

Bouchard Père & Fils’s Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is a benchmark white Burgundy from nearly four hectares of high, east- to southeast-facing Chardonnay vines at the top of the Corton hill, rooted in thin white marl over limestone and cooled by the neighboring forest. The wine typically marries intense fruit and toasty notes with pronounced chalky minerality in a powerful, structured frame that remains remarkably tense and fresh, built to evolve gracefully in bottle for many years.
