The 2014 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, which is sourced from the Pernand side of the hill, has a precise bouquet with lemon peel, granite and smoky notes, almost Puligny-like in terms of its reserve. The palate is fresh and vibrant with good body, fine tension thanks to that keen line of acidity, with hints of orange peel towards the finish. This is a commendable Corton-Charlemagne in a year where I felt it did not particularly shine.
