The 2020 Corton-Charlemagne once again gives the Montrachet a run for its money. Aromatically penetrating and vibrant, the 2020 offers up a compelling mix of lemon peel, white flower, almond, white pepper and a host of bright, saline notes. The 2020 oozes class and precision from the very first taste. It's another wine I went back to many times over the course of this tasting. The 2020 is very clearly Corton-Charlemagne, but also very clearly a DRC white. In this vintage, the domaine used all four of its plots (spread across various locations on the Corton hill in the Le Charlemagne and En Charlemagne lieux-dits) and relied on slightly larger 300L barrels.
