Domaine Chapuis Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2022 is a 100% Chardonnay from the Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru appellation in the Côte de Beaune, Burgundy. The estate sits at the foot of the Corton hill and has been run by sixth-generation siblings Claire and Pierre Chapuis since 2018, continuing a family history said to date back to 1850. Fruit for this bottling comes from a very small holding—reported as less than one hectare—spread across the parcels Les Languettes, Les Pougets, and Le Charlemagne, on marly limestone and clay at 280–330 meters. Alcohol is listed at 13.5%.
In the glass, the wine is positioned as both powerful and detailed. Colin Hay (The Drinks Business) delivers one of the top published scores at 94 points, calling it “gloriously opulent, lush, plush and plump” while stressing that it remains “seriously chiselled, bright, crisp and crunchy.” His note points to beeswax and citrus drive—lime zest and white grapefruit—alongside gooseberry, mimosa, flinty minerality, and ginger, suggesting a style that couples richness with lift.
Jane Anson (Inside Bordeaux) matches that excellent 94-point assessment, describing a “pale gold” color and a savory, mineral-leaning profile with “cold ash,” citrus, baking spice, and grated ginger, finishing with an “edge of steel.” She summarizes the overall impression as “vivid and full of charm,” a useful shorthand for a Corton-Charlemagne that aims to balance breadth with firmness.
Additional impressions reported via CellarTracker aggregation (not directly verified from the original publications) cluster in the same quality band: Jancis Robinson cites a “very rich and concentrated” wine with “lovely texture,” calling it a “serious, long-lived white” with a suggested window of 2026–2035, while Vinous notes a “pretty, floral nose,” white peach and citrus, “fine tension,” and a “salty finish.”
