This 2008 Corton-Charlemagne reveals a highly concentrated and focused nose, evoking ripe yellow fruits, notes of lemon curd, apple, pine needle, honey, white flowers, and vibrant spicy nuances along with crushed rocks. It boasts excellent concentration, showcasing coiled richness in yellow fruits, outstanding precision and focus, bright acidity, and a pronounced mineral character. The long finish is driven by rich yellow fruits, concluding with a subtle touch of honey and mineral notes.
The 2008 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is performing nicely from bottle, even if it's not quite as it was five or six years ago, offering up aromas of orange oil, fresh pear, honeycomb, dried apricot and nutty, toasty oak. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with racy acids, chalky grip and a lactic quality that I suspect derives from the vintage's high levels of malic acid. This is a contender for Bonneau du Martray's finest Corton-Charlemagne of the 2000s.William Kelley16th July 2020

Very pale yellow-green color. Nose dominated by lime, crushed stone and steely minerality. Densely packed and almost painfully dry, with taut, penetrating citrus and mineral flavors showing more energy than flesh today. This ungiving grand cru has plenty of depth and flavor intensity but is an infant today. The stony, austere finish is like touching a live wire. This seems every bit as steely as the estate's 2007 at the same stage but denser; in fact, this may be even more closed. Stephen Tanzer1st September 2010
