The cuvée consists of two Chartron barrels and two additional barrels, one each from two different sources. This has not yet been racked. Pale to mid yellow. This is the banana fruit style of bouquet. Fruit fills the mouth evenly from front to back, with the banana component currently prevalent. Doesn’t inhibit a stonier finish though. Good tension here to finish, moderate length.

The Corton-Charlie is a tremendous wine, and really shows the best side of the hot Burgundy vintages. There are options and choices here for Jean-Michel Chartron, who buys in high-quality grapes as well as vinifying those from his own vines on the Corton hill. The homegrown Charlie is a magnificent wine, offering a focused, lively mineral touch with tremendous definition and mineral imprint. It is a big, intense Charlemagne that takes it to the next level. The product of the bought grapes is fine, yet it lacks the focus of the domaine casks. To blend or not to blend? That is the question.

The 2019 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru comes from Charlemagne and the Pernand side of the hill, comprises two barrels from the domaine and three barrels from two other sources. It comes across surprisingly closed on the nose. Maybe just going through a dumb phase of élevage? The palate is medium-bodied and much more expressive, gorgeous yellow plum and pithy/peachy notes with a caressing finish. Once the aromatics awaken, this should be a very seductive "CC".
