95 JG "Maison Bouchardâs parcel in Corton-Charlemagne have a plain easterly exposure which helps them retain raciness and minerality, and these qualities are very much amplified in this gorgeous young wine. This is a powerfully-built young vintage of Corton Charlie, as the low yields here have concentrated every element to a certain degree, but this is not an over-sized and too intense version of the vintage, but rather a perfectly poised and balanced wine of stunning depth. The great bouquet is a blend of pear, apple, crème patissière, a bottomless base of chalky minerality, spring flowers and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and beautifully complex, with a rock solid core, crisp acids, laser-like focus and exceptional length and grip on the pure and vibrant finish. Another absolutely stunning young wine!"

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
