The 2019 Bouchard Pere et Fils Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru is a distinguished Chardonnay from the renowned Burgundy region in France, specifically the sub-appellation of Corton Charlemagne. This vintage has garnered high praise from wine critics for its complexity and balance.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded this wine a score of 94, describing it as "rich and demonstrative," with a bouquet that includes "aromas of orchard fruits, peach, nutmeg, orange oil, and fresh bread." The review highlights its "full-bodied, satiny and enveloping" nature, noting a "fleshy core of fruit" and "lively acids" that culminate in a "long, saline finish."

Jasper Morris, contributing to Inside Burgundy, gave the wine an impressive score of 95, stating that it showcases "a clear fresh color with little green streaks." Morris describes the wine as a "powerful Corton-Charlemagne," characteristic of the 2019 vintage, noting its "intense stoniness" alongside a concentration of fruit, all "in balance."

Decanter rated the wine 93, observing that it originates from "thin clay soils over limestone" with a "nose a bit closed at first." However, it opens up to reveal "green apple and citrus notes on the palate" with "pleasantly crisp acidity" and impressive richness. The review emphasizes the wine's "remarkable purity of fruit," with only 15% new casks used during maturation.

James Suckling provided the highest score of 96, acknowledging its "pronounced vanilla oak" and developing notes of "ripe pear, citrus, and pineapple." Suckling described it as "rich and creamy," making "a bold statement" while maintaining a "lovely freshness" that complements its "generous body."

Overall, this Chardonnay is a robust yet balanced expression of its terroir, praised for its depth, fruit concentration, and potential to develop further with age.
