Classically powerful and rich, this is a concentrated wine. With spice from the wood aging prominent, it is still young. That spice is balanced by the ripe yellow and baked-apple fruits. The aftertaste has delicious flavors of honey and lemon. Drink this wine from 2020.

Big and rich, this is a broad, open version of Corton-Charlemagne, a powerhouse of ripe white and yellow fruits. It seems initially without enough depth, a product of its youth, then gradually the ripe structure shows through, promising aging over 6–7 years.
