Domaine du Pavillon Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2020

Not at all the austere Corton that the old wine books lead you to expect! Plenty of orange-zest and orange-blossom aromas, but also flinty and earthy notes. Rich and creamy at the front, but then it turns in a much more serious and stony direction. However, even here the structure is wrapped in ripe stone-fruit character. From organically grown grapes from the southeastern side of this famous site. Drink or hold. Score - 96.
