This white combines power and intensity, elegance and seamlessness, supporting lemon cake, apple, nut oil and mineral flavors. Though enticing now, this should really sing in 2-3 years and offer pleasure for the next decade or more. Best from 2020 through 2033. From France. — B.S.

(92-95 points) Corton-Charlemagne did particularly well in 2015 and the Jadot example is just one more confirmation of that success with its ripe but fresh and airy nose of green apple, citrus peel, floral and wet stone-scented nose. While the big-bodied flavors are not quite as imposingly-scaled as those of the Montrachet, this is by no means undersized and particularly so from a power and drive standpoint as the clean and attractively dry finish is almost painfully intense. Like the Monty, this is going to need at least a few years of bottle age and reward 10 to 15. In a word, excellent.

Impressive weight and richness here. Plenty of grapefruit, hazelnuts, grilled lemons and grilled white peaches on the nose, all leading to a neatly coiled and concentrated palate. It has a bracingly powerful core of acidity that really punches the finish deep. Give it a year or two of bottle age. - Nick Stock

(91-93 points) The 2015 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has an attractive nose of orange rind, lemon zest and subtle star anise aromas that become accentuated in the glass. The palate is crisp on the entry with lemon zest and orange rind, quite reserved and austere towards the finish that shows presence but needs more energy and tension. It has potential, but let's see how it turns out in bottle and see if it gains more race. - Neal Martin
