2019 Corton-Charlemagne, Grand Cru, Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey, Burgundy

The proportions have changed again, and in 2019 are 80% from Les Languettes in Aloxe and 20% from En Charlemagne in Pernand.

An attractively fresh, if much more reticent nose only grudgingly gives up its aromas of newly sliced green apple, lemon-lime, anise and, again, discreet wood influence. There is fine density to the suave and powerful yet reasonably well-detailed larger-scaled flavours that also conclude in a citrusy, bone-dry and compact finale that is less austere than it usually is. While this does need to add depth, it should do that if a few years of cellaring are allowed, and it's built to reward a decade-plus.

Drink from 2031 onward
