The 2013 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru comes from purchased grapes and for the first time they come entirely from the Aloxe-Corton side. The bouquet is sophisticated and beautifully defined with touches of quince and yellow plum, later white peach. The palate is very well balanced with a taut line of acidity that renders this very linear and direct, quite pointed and penetrating on the finish. This should be intriguing once in bottle.
