The 2014 Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru, from vines on the east side of the hill, has a well defined, phenolic, beeswax and dried honey-scented bouquet that has a little more intensity than its peers. Picked on October 1, it has a little more richness and that comes through on the palate. Although it has a high level of malolactic, the acidity is not sharp and there is a lovely dab of lemongrass enlivening the long and tender finish. This is a well crafted, charming Corton-Charlemagne.
