Tight yet clearly grand in scope, the 2022 Joseph Drouhin Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru layers ripe yellow apple, citrus oil and warm pastry notes over a powerful, structured palate. There’s notable tension behind the richness, with a touch of youthful bitterness and reduction today that signal a wine still knitting together, but with impressive depth waiting in reserve. This is a broad, generously styled Corton-Charlemagne that will reward patience as its complexity and finesse come into clearer focus.

Joseph Drouhin’s Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is a powerful, terroir-driven Chardonnay from the high, east-facing Les Languettes plots on the Corton hill (Aloxe‑Corton/Ladoix/Pernand), combining stony limestone minerality with concentrated citrus and orchard fruit, floral and honeyed notes, and subtle toasted oak (c.30–35% new) for long ageing—majestic, structured and built to evolve over decades.
