Tasting Notes
Vinous – 93
The 2013 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a discrete nose of pressed white flowers, white linen and pronounced undergrowth scents. The palate is fresh on the entry, with white peach and dried apricot. The 2013 is pretty saline with a focused and very appealing finish. This is an endearing and well-crafted Corton-Charlemagne that will continue to give much pleasure.
Anticipated maturity: 2022-2035
Robert Parker – 93
Bouchard’s 2013 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is showing very well, wafting from the glass with an expressive bouquet of yellow orchard fruit, pear, orange oil, praline and wheat toast. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, deep and intense, with succulent acids, good concentration and a penetrating finish. While this Corton-Charlemagne is quite open for inspection already, it’s nicely balanced and displays good structural tension. Bottled under Diam 10, it should enjoy more than another decade of longevity.
Anticipated maturity: 2018-2028
