Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 30 Apr 20
Aromas of ripe peach and citrus oil mingle with hints of clear honey and fresh pastry, introducing the 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, a full-bodied, textural and gourmand wine that's the most muscular of Monnot's 2018 whites. While it's true to the charming, extrovert profile of the vintage, it should also reward a few years in bottle.
