Offering up aromas of orange oil, peach, pear, white flowers and fresh pastry, complemented by a subtle top note of citrus blossom, the 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is full-bodied, multidimensional and textural, with a rich, lusty profile, cascading over the palate with layers of ripe fruit. I miss some of the tension displayed by the fine 2017 rendition, but there's enough concentration and dry extract here to make me suspect it will survive us with its capacity to develop in bottle. - William Kelley
