50% new wood. Rich again (tasted after the Bâtard), with even more tension. Aromatically still quite closed, but there's a core of power and great length. Tremendous potential. L&S (Oct 2019)

The 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru was completely corked. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting. Rating: 0 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Nov 2022)
A ripe, cool and equally restrained nose offers up notes of green apple, floral, an array of citrus and, like the Chevalier, plenty of mineral reduction. There is excellent power and volume to the delicious yet entirely serious broad-shouldered flavors that possess both terrific cut and minerality, all wrapped in a clean, dry and youthfully austere finale. This isn't quite as dense or powerful as the Montrachet but even so, there is much to admire and note well that this too should age exceptionally well. Drinking range: 2033 - Rating: 94 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jun 2020)
The most youthfully reserved wine in the cellar was the 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, a promising bottling that opens up to reveal scents of citrus zest, dried white flowers, green apple and pastry cream. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with racy acids and prodigious levels of searingly chalky dry extract that lend this wine incredible structure. Drinking range: 2028 - 2048 Rating: 95 William Kelley, The Wine Advocate (Jan 2020)
