The Michel Juillot Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 2018 is a distinguished white Burgundy wine, celebrated for its richness, complexity, and harmonious balance. The 2018 vintage for Corton-Charlemagne was a dream vintage, offering generous volumes and superb quality, benefiting from a mild spring and a particularly hot and dry summer that allowed for perfect flowering and impeccable grape health. This Chardonnay typically displays a pale to medium golden color. On the nose, it offers a bouquet of ripe orchard fruits like apple and pear, citrus notes such as lemon, and nuances of white flowers, often complemented by hints of toasted almonds, hazelnuts, vanilla, and spice from oak aging. The palate delivers a luxurious mouthfeel, combining richness and creaminess with refreshing acidity. Flavors often include crisp citrus, ripe apple, delicate stone fruits, and a pronounced minerality, leading to a long, satisfying finish. Allen Meadows noted a generously wooded nose with vanilla, spice, almond, and apricot, leading to big-bodied, sleekly muscular flavors with fine power and a mineral and citrus-inflected finish. 【Exceptional Chardonnay showcasing unique terroir and critical acclaim, including 97/100 from James Suckling for the 2018 vintage】.
