The 2015 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a well-defined and focused bouquet. The oak initially feels loud, displaying toasty notes that admittedly marry well with the reduction, and then, magically, it coalesces and becomes more and more vivid and animated with aeration. The palate is very well balanced, and then flavors of mango, clementine and a touch of ginger reflect the precocity of the growing season. It feels a little heavy toward the finish, possibly with some botrytized fruit, but it develops precision with aeration. Very promising. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

The 2015 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a well-defined and focused bouquet. The oak initially feels loud, displaying toasty notes that admittedly marry well with the reduction, and then, magically, it coalesces and becomes more and more vivid and animated with aeration. The palate is very well balanced, and then flavors of mango, clementine and a touch of ginger reflect the precocity of the growing season. It feels a little heavy toward the finish, possibly with some botrytized fruit, but it develops precision with aeration. Very promising. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

Bright yellow. Cool aromas of underripe peach, lichee and cinnamon. Penetrating on entry, then intensely flavored and tactile in the middle palate, with a captivating sweetness to its gripping lemon and stone flavors. Really reverberates on the back end. Offers a lovely acid/sugar balance but this very promising Corton-Charlemagne, like the Meursault Tete de Murgey, will be better for five or six years of bottle aging. (Javillier's single barrel of Meursault Charmes was in the middle of its malolactic fermentation.)In Bond€1,695.00 -

(bottled in February of this year; all of the other '13s were bottled in November or December of '14): Healthy pale yellow. Aromas of lime, mandarin orange and musky white flowers. Plush and spicy, showing good concentration and decent acid cut to the pear and mineral flavors. I wanted a bit more energy for Corton-Charlemagne. Javillier's vines face south and he lost just 20% of his crop to hail in 2013.In Bond€1,060.00 -

A more elegant and slightly more complex broad-ranging nose reflects an assortment of green apple, white flower, pear, mineral reduction and a wisp of oak. The overtly rich, full-bodied and powerful flavors coat the palate with sappy dry extract that also serves to buffer the moderately firm acid spine shaping the stony and saline-inflected finale. This too will need at least a few years of patience.In Bond€187.00
